At University College London, Lesley sings I Dreamed a Dream inside an MRI scanner to reveal how her vocal tract acts as a ...

Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a frontier of fundamental physics. Yet in laboratories around the world, carefully ...

Researchers develop an innovative sound wave sensor to quickly and accurately detect elusive helium gas leaks, enhancing ...

The range of materials that concrete contains scatters normal sound waves, making clear imaging difficult to obtain.

Scientists at MIT have directly captured signs of “second sound” in a superfluid for the first time. This bizarre phenomenon occurs when heat moves like sound waves through an unusual state of matter.

On the rise. Signs of convection are seen in the motion of hot gas under the influence of a gravity-like acoustic force in a spherical glass container. The images were recorded 15, 40, and 140 ...

A team of researchers from the Ministry of Health in Kuwait has successfully demonstrated the destruction of SARS-CoV-2 virus ...

At the start of my career, I used to do acoustic testing in an anechoic chamber where sound is not reflected as it gets absorbed. But the quietness of these chambers always got me thinking of how ...

Gayle Anderson learns about Sonic Fire Tech, a startup company founded by former NASA engineers, that uses a patented technology to extinguish wildfires using sound waves. Company officials claim ...

Concrete structures like roads and bridges require nondestructive testing methods to identify interior defects without destroying their structure. Most methods send sound waves into the material and ...
