Anyone who has attended a loud concert is familiar with the sensation of ears ringing. Some individuals may suffer from temporary or permanent hearing loss,…
The tone and tuning of musical instruments has the power to manipulate our appreciation of harmony, new research shows. The findings challenge centuries of Western…
Exploring the movement of sound within archaeological sites can provide valuable clues about the structure and organization of ancient societies. Until recently, archaeologists depended primarily…
Scientists from the University of East Anglia have proposed a new way of using quantum light to ‘see’ quantum sound. A recent study recently published…
Using sound waves to control atomic vacancies could enhance communication technologies and provide novel control mechanisms for quantum computing. Acoustic resonators are everywhere. In fact,…
The iconic movie Alien once claimed: “In space, no one can hear you scream.” However, physicists Zhuoran Geng and Ilari Maasilta from the Nanoscience Center…
We rely on temporary protein-protein bonds for essential processes including enzymatic reactions, antibody binding, and response to medication. The ability to precisely characterize these interactions…
A team of scientists at the University of Tsukuba has created a mathematical model that describes the relationship between sound waves and multiple encapsulated microbubbles,…
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…
The theory of acoustic levitation is extended by new research, which also highlights potential uses. Sound waves, like an invisible pair of tweezers, can be…
A new study based on recordings made by the rover finds that the speed of sound is slower on the Red Planet than on Earth…
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…
Investigators in China created a functioning 3D-printed ukulele and used acoustics to compare its sound quality to a standard wooden instrument. Music is an art,…
Acoustic analysis of belching during speech showcases the cartoon’s rich array of nonword sounds. One of the first things new viewers of the cartoon “Rick…
Scientists at Lancaster University and the University of Oxford have created a nano-electronic circuit which vibrates without any external force. Using a tiny suspended wire,…
Imagine being able to hear people whispering in the next room, while the raucous party in your own room is inaudible to the whisperers. Yale…
Harvard University researchers have developed a new printing method that uses soundwaves to generate droplets from liquids with an unprecedented range of composition and viscosity….
Researchers at Yale University have developed a simple device that uses sound waves to store quantum information and convert it from one form to another,…
