Scientists found a way to stop light and sound waves from scattering chaotically inside ...

When light or sound bounces around inside an oddly shaped room, its reflections can quickly become difficult to predict. But ...

Sound wave scattering can be increased in one frequency range only by reducing scattering in another range, according to experiments—a discovery relevant for acoustic engineering. Acoustic guinea pigs ...

That roar was not an explosionAfter a supersonic aircraft passes overhead, you may hear a "boom" sound. Many people perceive ...

Quantum fluctuation.Atomic vibration.Sound waves.Wave motion.Wave function.When researching frequencies, similar terms appear ...

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 type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely ...

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 ...

Absorbing excess sound to make public environments like theaters and concert halls safer for hearing and using the unwanted sound waves to create electricity is the aim of a new paper. The authors ...

Yushun Zeng squishes cancer cells in a petri dish at work. No, not with his ungainly, macroscopic human fingers. Zeng, an engineering graduate student at the University of Southern California, has ...

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 ...
