Soil is one of our most precious resources. Ecoacoustics, or the study of environmental sounds, has been around for a century, but it has only recently been applied to understanding soils. This ...

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 ...

The range of materials that concrete contains, such as stone, chalk, and sand, scatters normal sound waves, making clear ...

Using artificial intelligence (AI) and sound waves, researchers have found a possible means of looking inside stars. It’s based on the fact that stars aren’t solid objects — far from it, in fact. They ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Engineers at Switzerland’s École Polytechnique Fédérale de ...

Researchers have revealed how high-frequency sound waves can be used to build new materials, make smart nanoparticles and even deliver drugs to the lungs for painless, needle-free vaccinations. While ...

When exposed to stress and strain, materials can display a wide range of different properties. By using sound waves, scientists have begun to explore fundamental stress behaviors in a crystalline ...

Inspired by the functioning of pulsed lasers, scientists from France and Japan have developed an acoustic counterpart that enables the precise and controlled transmission of single electrons between ...
