Every time NASA releases a new audio clip tied to a black hole or a distant nebula, millions of listeners share it as proof that space has a voice. It does not. Sound waves are mechanical vibrations ...

Mathematicians and engineers at the University of Utah have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never repeats. The results, they ...

Yushun Zeng squishes cancer cells in a petri dish at work. No, not with his ungainly, macroscopic human fingers. Zeng, an engineering graduate student at the University of Southern California, has ...

ANC does not shut the world out. It listens to outside noise, flips the sound pattern, and makes certain sounds feel weaker ...

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 ...

It’s a question I’m sure was keeping you up at night: can you make an object spin with a sound wave? The answer, generally speaking, used to be no. Now, though, mechanical engineers have taken a look ...

What Is a Sound Bath? A sound bath is a meditative experience where you lie down and let waves of sound wash over you. There’s no water involved. The “bath” part comes from how sound surrounds you, ...
