The treatment of kidney stones could soon be getting much faster, easier, and safer. Scientists have devised a method of ...

“Second sound is the hallmark of superfluidity, but in ultracold gases so far you could only see it in this faint reflection ...

Research reveals how specific sound frequencies can affect you, with promising applications for pain management, stress ...

The Last Stand," a character claps and sends a shock wave that knocks out an opposing army. Sunny Jung, professor of ...

As a result, researchers are exploring new and novel ways to dial down the volume. They are turning to highly specialized materials and structures designed to buffer, baffle, and block sound waves.

In everyday materials, heat usually behaves predictably —it spreads outward from a hot source until it evenly distributes.

The film explores the properties of sound waves in air, demonstrating that sound travels at approximately 1,100 feet per second and reflects similarly to light. Through experiments using echoes, beams ...
