Mathematicians and engineers have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never repeats. The results, they say, could result in ...

Physicists in Leiden have recreated Thomas Young’s iconic double-slit experiment using gigahertz sound waves on gallium arsenide, revealing both parallels and differences with light. The study found ...

Researchers have found that a swirling water vortex can force opposing waves to form rotating lines of stillness across an ...

Scientists at Japan’s Nagoya University have used Japan’s extensive network of GNSS receivers to create the first 3D images of atmospheric disturbances caused by the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.

From vibrating strings to plasma waves in space, frequency and wave behavior influence phenomena all around us. Scientists, educators, and citizen volunteers are exploring how wave speed, wavelength, ...

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 ...

In the context of sensory modalities, eyes work like tiny antennae, picking up light, electromagnetic waves traveling at blistering speeds. When humans look at the world, their eyes catch these waves ...

Researchers have found a way to make materials that are normally opaque to sound waves completely transparent. Their system involves placing acoustic relays at strategic locations so that sound waves ...

A boiling tea kettle diffuses its heat to gradually warm surrounding air, yet it will still be the warmest region even as it, too, slowly cools. But what if the kettle cooled down to room temperature ...

Mathematicians and engineers at the University of Utah have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never repeats. The results, they ...
