In a study published in Nature Communications, the team showed for the first time that specific frequencies of acoustic waves ...

Wearable tech is moving into a new era — and it's not powered by electronics. Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a T-shirt that can measure breathing and gloves that can translate hand movements ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., second only to heart disease. But a new cancer treatment method from CU Boulder researchers uses sound waves to soften tumors and could be a ...

A new University of Mississippi study shows that some sound waves don't just move forward—they also move slightly to the side. Understanding this movement could help researchers develop more precise ...

Time crystals sound like something out of a SciFi movie, but they are real and easier to see than ever.

Optical neural networks may provide the high-speed and large-capacity solution necessary to tackle challenging computing tasks. However, tapping their full potential will require further advances. One ...

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.

Using this model of a 1D material, researchers demonstrate a new way to remotely change a material's stiffness using sound 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 ...
