The San Bernardino County Fire Department recently highlighted a system that detects and extinguishes flames without water or ...

Futuristic control of structure in some materials is being made possible by a physics loophole.

Chen Shen, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Rowan University, uses acoustic science to spin and manipulate sound waves for micro applications including miniature robotics and new ...

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 ...

The San Bernardino County Fire Department tested new technology on Monday designed to help suppress fires by using sound waves.

In the context of sensory modalities, eyes work like tiny antennae, picking up light, electromagnetic waves traveling at blistering speeds. When humans look at the world, their eyes catch these waves ...

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.

NASA astronaut [Don Pettit] shared a short video from an experiment he performed on the ISS back in 2012, demonstrating the effects of sound waves on water in space. Specifically, seeing what happens ...

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 ...
