In the depths of your inner ear lies one of biology’s most intricate sound systems. A new discovery reveals that the cochlea — the spiral-shaped organ that turns sound into electrical signals — is ...

Physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of 'modes' within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy blasts, and ...
