A world-famous light experiment from 1801 has now been carried out with sound for the first time. Research by physicists in ...

Electronics traditionally rely on harnessing the electron's charge, but researchers are now exploring the possibility of ...

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.

Good things come to those who wait, according to one beer commercial. However, brewers - and pharmaceutical companies - are now turning to ultrasound to speed up their production processes, as Valerie ...

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 ...

Researchers in Switzerland have found a way of using sound waves to manipulate objects in disordered environments such as liquids. Instead of trapping the objects as conventional optical and acoustic ...

Yale scientists used laser light to gain access to long-lived sound waves in crystalline solids as the basis for information storage. The result was published online April 2 in the journal Nature ...

BYU Physics professor Brian Anderson works with students to align loudspeakers in a sound experiment that used time reversal ...

Students learn how sound waves are produced and transmitted. Students learn how sound waves are produced and transmitted and how frequency is related to pitch. The speeds of sound in different media ...

A research team has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both spin and orbital angular momentum like light does. The findings shattered ...

Car enthusiasts will pay hundreds of dollars for stereo systems that will improve the sound quality in their cars. However, ...
