A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

The acoustic properties of an ultracold fermion gas have been measured either side of the superfluid transition temperature in an experiment that has been described as “near perfect” and “beautiful”.

In laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves ...

When exposed to stress and strain, materials can display a wide range of different properties. By using sound waves, scientists have begun to explore fundamental stress behaviors in a crystalline ...

Can you imagine sound travels in the same way as light does? A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely ...

Save your breath: A new way to make bubbles requires only sound waves. Scientists made the bubbles in levitated drops of liquid, held aloft with sound waves. Tweaking the sound waves caused the ...
