Earthquakes create ripple effects in Earth's upper atmosphere that can disrupt satellite communications and navigation ...

MIT researchers observe a “second wave” of heat in superfluid helium, confirming that heat propagates like sound.

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle ...

According to Stony Brook University, any wave can create an interference pattern, whether it be a sound wave ... first postulated this in 1932 in his book "The Mathematical Foundations of Quantum ...

With an amplitude and a frequency, they're no different from any other wave. General Relativity makes explicit predictions for what these waves should sound like, with the largest wave-generating ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a T-shirt that can measure breathing and gloves that can translate hand movements into ...

By spreading fine sand across the top of a metal plate and running a violin bow alongside, Chladni showed that the sand would settle into distinct patterns, depending on the frequencies of the sound ...

a sound wave should disperse symmetrically in concentric circles, like the ripple from a pebble falling into a pond. Alù could make the sound only travel in particular patterns. Alù’s project ...

Optical tweezers, for example, use waves of light to trap and manipulate individual molecules, while sound waves can be used to control larger particles. But little research has been done to ...
