Introducing a smart speaker system that uses robotic ‘acoustic swarms’ to pinpoint and manage sounds, promising both enhanced audio control and privacy in busy settings….
Acoustic tweezers manipulate the movement of target objects through the momentum exchange between the acoustic wave and the object. Their ability to penetrate tissue deeply…
Inexpensive and easy to build, these data-collecting balloons capture low-frequency sound in the Earth’s atmosphere. Imagine if sending your science experiment 70,000 ft in the…
Locating leaks in water distribution networks is made easier with hydrant-mounted hydrophones and advanced algorithms. UCLA researchers developed an acoustic solution using hydrophones on fire…
Software program predicts environmental noise and modulates voices to simulate sound on other planets. Timothy G. Leighton has developed software that simulates sounds on distant…
A recent college graduate has used data sonification to convert the visible light emitted by elements in the periodic table into complex sounds, taking the…
Microplastic particles, less than 5 mm wide, pose potential harm to aquatic life and humans as they pervade waterways worldwide. Researchers have developed a two-stage…
Modeling and optimizing sensor networks for a specific environment to help missions home in on shooter locations. During a gunshot, two sound events occur —…
New experimental work establishes how quantum properties of mechanical quantum systems can be measured without destroying the quantum state. Systems in which mechanical motion is…
Hunga Volcano Eruption Provides an Explosion of Data The gigantic January 15, 2022, eruption of the Hunga submarine volcano in the South Pacific Ocean devastated…
Unhackneyed compartmentalization generated by audible sound allows the enzyme reactions to be controlled spatiotemporally. Spatiotemporal regulation of multistep enzyme reactions through compartmentalization is essential in…
The flexible, thin-film device has the potential to make any surface into a low-power, high-quality audio source. MIT engineers have developed a paper-thin loudspeaker that…
Have you ever wondered if bacteria make distinctive sounds? If we could listen to bacteria, we would be able to know whether they are alive…
Inspired by the human ear, a new acoustic fabric converts audible sounds into electrical signals. Having trouble hearing? Just turn up your shirt. That’s the…
Can you imagine sound travels in the same way as light does? A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) discovered a new…
Melting ice opens new predation ground for killer whales as they spend more time in previously neglected territory. Killer whales are intelligent, adaptive predators, often…
Acoustic tools reveal hotspots of ocean life in scattered places. Ocean predators cannot survive on average concentrations of food found in the water. Instead, they…
