Researchers in Switzerland have found a way of using sound waves to manipulate objects in disordered environments such as liquids. Instead of trapping the objects as conventional optical and acoustic ...

Negative pressure is a rare and challenging-to-detect phenomenon in physics. Using liquid-filled optical fibers and sound waves, researchers have now discovered a new method to measure it. In ...

In the new device, an array of 256 speakers, each about 1 centimeter wide, faces another, identical speaker array across a distance of 23 centimeters. The speakers emit sound waves at frequencies too ...

Students learn how sound waves are produced and transmitted. Students learn how sound waves are produced and transmitted and how frequency is related to pitch. The speeds of sound in different media ...

Tsunamis are incredibly large waves cause by the displacement of water generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides and other large disturbances. They are among the deadliest natural ...

"We don't need to go into space to do these experiments anymore." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Physicists have replicated the ...

We learn a lot about our surroundings thanks to sound. But... what is it exactly? In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini goes over some of the basics (and some of the not so basics) of the ...

Scientists have demonstrated how floating particles will assemble and synchronize in response to acoustic waves. Their simple experiment provides a new framework for studying how seemingly lifelike ...

Good things come to those who wait, according to one beer commercial. However, brewers - and pharmaceutical companies - are now turning to ultrasound to speed up their production processes, as Valerie ...

I cannot skip a paper that talks about making wormholes. Even if they are fake wormholes. And even if, after reading the paper, I’m not sure that the researchers have made fake wormholes, I simply can ...
