In an effort to better understand how the inner ear can hear the quietest of noises, researchers from Yale University ...

Scientists have unlocked a previously unseen behavior of acoustic waves, opening up new possibilities for cutting-edge ...

Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental literacy and ensure that our response to climate change is informed by science.

The innovative sound display, which seamlessly translates auditory information into optical signals, addresses the challenges ...

Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like birds chirping in an unexpected place. These bursts of plasma, called chorus waves, ripple at the same frequency as human hearing. When ...

So-called Rayleigh–Bloch waves can release enormous amount of energy that can damage technical systems under certain ...

The earthquake’s epicentre was located in Delhi, at a shallow depth of only 5 km. This shallow origin likely intensified the tremors felt across the region.

When the snow settles, melts and refreezes, the sound-dampening quality of the snow will change. As the surface of the snow ...

Might it also be possible, then, to use acoustic waves to disrupt the electromechanical sensors that drones require to fly?

Entanglement—linking distant particles or groups of particles so that one cannot be described without the other—is at the ...

Physicists and biomedical engineers unlocked new properties in capillary waves thanks to superhydrophobicity. Ripples, like ones produced by raindrops falling in a puddle, are also called ...
