Arts and Science researchers developed particles that use sound waves to swing in the air without external forces to determine their rate of oscillation. The discovery could further research on other ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne have developed a device that directs sound waves in one direction without wasting energy. This breakthrough sound wave ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Researchers have now created a new type of glass using nothing but sound waves and salt. Sure, that might sound like one heck of a science experiment—and in a way, it is—but it's also a major ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

No rainstorm is needed for this rainbow — it’s made out of sound. Using an oddly shaped plastic device, scientists have created an acoustic rainbow, separating white noise according to its various ...

Researchers have engineered a silk fabric that can suppress noise by either generating sound waves that interfere with the noise or by blocking vibrations that are key to the transmission of sound.
