Hey all! So all my life I have heard that sound is a type of wave. This seemed to make sense to me. Recently I have come across some information that has me second guessing such tradition knowledge.

It’s a question I’m sure was keeping you up at night: can you make an object spin with a sound wave? The answer, generally speaking, used to be no. Now, though, mechanical engineers have taken a look ...

Researchers have found a way to make materials that are normally opaque to sound waves completely transparent. Their system involves placing acoustic relays at strategic locations so that sound waves ...

A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both rotation and orbital angular momentum ...

Sound waves have been part of science and medicine for decades, but the technologies have always relied on low frequencies. Now researchers have revealed how high frequency sound waves could ...

Physicists in Leiden have recreated Thomas Young’s iconic double-slit experiment using gigahertz sound waves on gallium arsenide, revealing both parallels and differences with light. The study found ...

July 3 (UPI) --Scientists have successfully guided sound waves through a maze, a tube pathway complicated by a variety of obstacles. The research could inspire new technologies for the control and ...

In the context of sensory modalities, eyes work like tiny antennae, picking up light, electromagnetic waves traveling at blistering speeds. When humans look at the world, their eyes catch these waves ...

Be it water, light or sound: waves usually propagate in the same way forwards as in the backward direction. As a consequence, when we are speaking to someone standing some distance away from us, that ...

Tsunamis are incredibly large waves cause by the displacement of water generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides and other large disturbances. They are among the deadliest natural ...

When you think of visualizing sound, you might think of the iTunes visualizers you used to play with years ago, or perhaps a waveform that shows the volume of a digital audio file comes to mind. The ...
