Forget fad diets and sketchy supplements, your favorite song might be the key to staying thin. In a new study, Japanese researchers found that acoustic sound waves can influence how our cells behave — ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

Scientists managed to significantly boost the production of green hydrogen using sound waves in a clean energy breakthrough. The "exciting" study combined high-frequency sound waves with less ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have managed to make sound waves travel only in one direction. In the future, this method could also be used in technical applications with electromagnetic waves. Water, ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

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 ...

Yushun Zeng squishes cancer cells in a petri dish at work. No, not with his ungainly, macroscopic human fingers. Zeng, an engineering graduate student at the University of Southern California, has ...

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London. Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and ...

The film explores the origins of sound through three primary sources: vibrating columns of air, vibrating surfaces, and vibrating strings. It demonstrates how sound is produced by examining a tuning ...
