A strange form of matter called a time crystal has fascinated physicists for about a decade. These systems move in repeating ...

In laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves into invisible “hands” that can lift, push, and rotate objects without a ...

A study published last month by University of Minnesota mechanical engineering researchers has the potential to make waves – ultrasonic waves, to be exact – in fields like surgery and manufacturing. U ...

In 2018, Arthur Ashkin won the Nobel Prize in Physics for inventing optical tweezers: laser beams that can be used to manipulate microscopic particles. While useful for many biological applications, ...

We are surrounded by waves. tiny vibrational waves transport sound to our ears. Light waves stimulate the retinas of our eyes. Electromagnetic waves bring radio, television and endless streaming ...

Researchers have created a microphone that listens with light instead of sound. Unlike traditional microphones, this visual microphone captures tiny vibrations on the surfaces of objects caused by ...

When an object in space appears to be racing at nineteen times the speed of sound, it instantly jumps from routine data point to global headline. The claim that NASA tracked such a hyperfast visitor ...

BERLIN (AP) — Hadad, the ancient weather god at Berlin's Pergamon Museum, growls deeply as he casts his neon-blue gaze on visitors, his body bathed in pulsating orange light. What seems like a scene ...

Where Light and Sound Bend 2022 Computer-generated imaging using motion capture Collaboration with Zwelakhe Mbalo From the Deep: In the Wake of Drexciya with Ayana V. Jackson Opens April 29, 2023 For ...

From Egyptian pyramids to French castles, these tourist sites are turning to drones, lasers, and other tech to create immersive night experiences. The facade of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame at Reims is ...

This is a light valve sound recorder designed and built by Eugene Augstin Lauste during his experimentation with sound-on-film technology ca. 1904-1913. This original piece was used to record sound on ...
