A team co-led by UC San Diego and the University of Michigan reports that short pulses of sound could remotely drag a structural defect through a metamaterial lattice, potentially letting researchers ...

For the first time in half a century, a new class of sound wave has been developed. Acoustics experts from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia are responsible for creating the wave, and it is set ...

Firing ultrasound signals into rodent brains puts them in a torpor-like state. Scientists are wondering if it could be used on humans. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Optical neural networks may provide the high-speed and large-capacity solution necessary to tackle challenging computing tasks. However, tapping their full potential will require further advances. One ...

Most of us know that sound can be broken down into sine waves. But Daniel Sierra took that knowledge and turned it into a stunning video animation for a thesis project called “Oscillate.” He says drew ...

A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both rotation and orbital angular momentum ...

Researchers have found a way to make materials that are normally opaque to sound waves completely transparent. Their system involves placing acoustic relays at strategic locations so that sound waves ...
