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

Scientists measured a chorus wave emerging from an unexpected place, and confirmed a key piece of a theory about how these ...

NASA created a haunting audio clip of sound waves rippling out of a supermassive black hole, located 250 million light-years away. The black hole is at the center of the Perseus cluster of galaxies, ...

4:21 Beneath the waves, the ocean is a world of sound. Marine animals like whales use sound to travel, communicate, and find food underwater. But since humans have introduced machinery ...

Yale physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of "modes" within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy blasts ...

Listen to the haunting audio clip of sound waves from a supermassive black hole 250 million light-years away, captured by ...

Two engineering students of George Mason University in the United States have made a prototype of a sound device that can put ...

Turbulence can also occur in sound waves that propagate chaotically in certain media, such as superfluid helium. In the 1970s, Soviet scientists proposed that turbulence occurs when sound waves ...

Detection of electromagnetic fluctuations that generate ‘killer electrons’ challenges scientific ideas about radiation in our ...

These three factors—reflection, absorption, and diffusion—are the building blocks of a room’s acoustic make-up (aka its transfer function), affecting everything from the frequency response to the ...
