In a new study, Japanese researchers found that acoustic sound waves can influence how our cells behave -- including halting fat development. Forget fad diets and sketchy supplements, your favorite ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

Arts and Science researchers developed particles that use sound waves to swing in the air without external forces to determine their rate of oscillation. The discovery could further research on other ...

The new pump has no moving parts. “Instead, it relies on thermoacoustics, the interaction between sound waves and heat, to move thermal energy,” Interesting Engineering writes. The pump uses that ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne have developed a device that directs sound waves in one direction without wasting energy. This breakthrough sound wave ...

Scientists at MIT have directly captured signs of “second sound” in a superfluid for the first time. This bizarre phenomenon occurs when heat moves like sound waves through an unusual state of matter.

The film explores the origins of sound through three primary sources: vibrating columns of air, vibrating surfaces, and vibrating strings. It demonstrates how sound is produced by examining a tuning ...

At the start of my career, I used to do acoustic testing in an anechoic chamber where sound is not reflected as it gets absorbed. But the quietness of these chambers always got me thinking of how ...

Absorbing excess sound to make public environments like theaters and concert halls safer for hearing and using the unwanted sound waves to create electricity is the aim of a new paper. The authors ...

On the rise. Signs of convection are seen in the motion of hot gas under the influence of a gravity-like acoustic force in a spherical glass container. The images were recorded 15, 40, and 140 ...
