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 ...

A world-famous light experiment from 1801 has now been carried out with sound for the first time. Research by physicists in ...

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 ...

Scientists have harnessed sound waves to break a fundamental barrier in next-gen electronics. By using surface acoustic waves instead of traditional electricity to control 2D materials, they can now ...

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 ...
