The top layer represents the location of the sound source and the path of sound propagation (A). The bottom layers represent convergence zones with different sound propagation paths (B-F). Sound waves ...

In context: Sound waves typically propagate in forward and backward directions. This natural movement is problematic in some situations where unwanted reflections cause interference or reduced ...

Summer is the season of sound in Chicago: from fireworks to car stereos, the jingle of paleta carts to outdoor concerts. But hearing a concert from over four miles away? That’s exactly what happened ...

In the ETH experiment, self-oscillations (blue-red) cause sound waves (green, orange, violet) to travel through the circulator only in one direction. Credit: Xin Zou Researchers at ETH Zurich have ...

Usama Kadri receives funding from the Leverhulme Trust: Research Project Grant number 523930. Many devices have been designed to capture and convert waves’ great power into electricity, but today’s ...

Sound waves travel through different types of matter, including liquid water. Importantly, the movement of ocean water can greatly affect how sound waves travel from one point to another. Mesoscale ...
