Scientists have created a miraculous new way to stop fires from spreading through neighborhoods using nothing but sound.

Infrasound waves are usually too low for the human ear to actually hear, but they can still have a negative effect on ...

A new technology inspired by NASA research uses sound instead of water or foam to put out fires could change how firefighters ...

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.

A stellar concert is playing out in the night sky, and scientists are learning how to listen to it like never before. Deep inside stars, sound waves move through hot gas, creating vibrations. These ...

Acoustic metamaterials are a fast-evolving family of materials which manipulate sound waves in ever more advanced ways. Now, a team led by Changqing Xu at Nanjing Normal University in China has ...

On the rise. Signs of convection are seen in the motion of hot gas under the influence of a gravity-like acoustic force in a spherical glass container. The images were recorded 15, 40, and 140 ...

With the involvement of scientists from the Paul Drude Institute for Solid State Electronics in Berlin and the Universities of Augsburg and Münster, international researchers have presented a new ...

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 ...
