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.

Electronics traditionally rely on harnessing the electron's charge, but researchers are now exploring the possibility of ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne have developed a device that directs sound waves in one direction without wasting energy. This breakthrough sound wave ...

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 ...

Expertise from Forbes Councils members, operated under license. Opinions expressed are those of the author. At the start of my career, I used to do acoustic testing in an anechoic chamber where sound ...

In holographic direct sound printing, a transducer emits high-acoustic pressure sound waves, inducing a sonochemical reaction called cavitation that creates solid material inside the build chamber. A ...

Save your breath: A new way to make bubbles requires only sound waves. Scientists made the bubbles in levitated drops of liquid, held aloft with sound waves. Tweaking the sound waves caused the ...
