A world-famous light experiment from 1801 has now been carried out with sound for the first time. Research by physicists in ...

Forget fad diets and sketchy supplements, your favorite song might be the key to staying thin. In a new study, Japanese researchers found that acoustic sound waves can influence how our cells behave — ...

KYOTO, Japan — Your body is having conversations you can’t hear. At the cellular level, sound waves are creating physical reactions that could transform weight management. Japanese researchers have ...

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.

Scientists have harnessed sound waves to break a fundamental barrier in next-gen electronics. By using surface acoustic waves instead of traditional electricity to control 2D materials, they can now ...

For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Middle Waves Music Festival returned this weekend with a new venue, a new time of year, new acts and lots of energy. First-time attendee Hannah Smith said she dragged Courtney Phillips along Saturday ...

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 ...

In holographic direct sound printing, a transducer emits high-acoustic pressure sound waves, inducing a sonochemical reaction called cavitation that creates solid material inside the build chamber. A ...
