Experiments described in Communications Biology revealed more than 100 genes whose activity changed in response to these acoustic waves, pointing to possible medical applications. Extensive earlier ...

It's popularly understood that no one can hear you scream in space, and yet, scientists have captured some pretty strange ...

The SONU Band uses personalized sound therapy—not steroids—to redefine allergy relief. Inside the startup behind SONU, the AI ...

Their results show sound wave disturbance patterns in unique 3D detail and provide new insights into how earthquakes generate these waves. The team published the results in the journal Earth, Planets ...

Sound waves can be measured in phase and amplitude without destroying them. In a sense, the cat stays both alive and dead, and researchers can listen in without opening the box.

At one end of each glass fibre is a small transmitter that emits sound waves. The other end of each of the glass fibres is connected to a receiver that measures whether the waves have changed. Each ...

But let us not confuse these sounds with the traditional sound waves we have on Earth. They can’t travel in the vacuum of space like they do on Earth; the cosmos is full of vibrations, radio ...

Music for your cells . The new research builds on a 2018 study by Kumeta and his team that found that sound waves can influence genes involved in bone formation and wound healing. “To ...

Ocean waves have long been seen as having huge potential as a source of renewable energy. Waves produce an estimated 50 trillion to 80 trillion watts of power worldwide – nearly two to three ...

When two ultrasonic beams of slightly different frequencies, such as 40 kHz and 39.5 kHz, overlap, they create a new sound wave at the difference between their frequencies – in this case 0.5 kHz ...

Yet water doesn’t mute sound, but amplifies it. Sound waves travel 4.3 times faster underwater than they do in the air and they retain their energy for much longer.

The process used to direct the sound waves not only guides the waves in one direction but the researchers say it also amplifies them. From ETH Zurich: “Schematics of the experimental set-up ...
