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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have managed to make sound waves travel only in one direction. In the future, this method could also be used in technical applications with electromagnetic waves. Water, ...

This array of piezoelectric sensors is designed to install in theaters and concert halls to harness sound wave energy to create electricity. This miniature proof of concept included 1,042 sensors, and ...

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 ...

Acoustic rainbows” sound psychedelic. But the idea is no acid trip: By dispersing sound waves, noisy objects can actually be ...

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

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.

Be it water, light or sound: waves usually propagate in the same way forwards as in the backward direction. As a consequence, when we are speaking to someone standing some distance away from us, that ...

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 ...
