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 ...

Acoustics is the branch of science that studies the propagation of sound and vibrational waves. Audible acoustic waves are ubiquitous in our everyday experience: they form the basis of verbal human ...

Sound waves could be the future of biomedical research, diagnosing and treatment, according to a chemistry professor. A data analyst is using an acoustic device to separate extracellular vesicles to ...

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 ...

In a breakthrough experiment, physicist and engineers have shown that it is possible to limit the movement of sound to a single direction without interruption even when there are deformations along ...

The celestial music released from the sun suggests that its outer layer has grown weaker over the years, according to new research from the United Kingdom. The sun releases sound waves, and like a ...

More than a hundred years ago, physicists discovered that heat is simply the energy stored in the vibrations of atoms. This meant that heat and sound are related. Now, for the first time ever, ...

Phononic crystals are novel materials that offer exceptional control over phonons, sound and other mechanical waves. Taras Gorishnyy, Martin Maldovan, Chaitanya Ullal and Edwin Thomas report on a ...
