Researchers have found a way to make materials that are normally opaque to sound waves completely transparent. Their system involves placing acoustic relays at strategic locations so that sound waves ...

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 ...

In a recent study, Yale researchers developed a new technology that transmits sound in one direction. In partnership with speaker hire. Researchers in the Yale physics department were able to restrict ...

This article was originally published on The Conversation. Read the original article. We know that there is sound on planets and moons in the solar system—places where there's a medium through which ...

Researchers have pioneered the use of parallel computing on graphics cards to simulate acoustic turbulence. This type of simulation, which previously required a supercomputer, can now be performed on ...

Researchers have constructed a 'meta-mirror' device capable of perfectly reflecting sound waves in any direction. The proof-of-principle demonstration is analogous to looking directly into a mirror ...

For the last decade, scientists have been making giant leaps in their ability to build and control systems based on the bizarre rules of quantum mechanics, which describe the behavior of particles at ...

Hey all! So all my life I have heard that sound is a type of wave. This seemed to make sense to me. Recently I have come across some information that has me second guessing such tradition knowledge.
