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 ...

In fact, the discovery actually supports a key part of the theory about how chorus waves work. Using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscalar satellites, Liu and colleagues measured the distribution ...

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 ...

Mantis shrimp withstand repeated high-impact forces without structural damage. Researchers discovered the shrimp's clubs feature a protective pattern that controls how stress waves travel through its ...

Chorus waves, quick bursts of energy known to occur relatively close to Earth and around other planets, were found in an ...

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

American company Boom Supersonic just broke the sound barrier with a civilian plane. What exactly is supersonic travel, and ...

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

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

Although sound travels quite fast, it is still possible to calculate its speed in air. To do this, the time it takes a sound to travel a measured distance must be recorded. Either the distance ...

Scientists have discovered the devastating impact that marine heat waves are having on Alaska's seabird populations.
