Scientists identify two sound-driven mechanisms for generating orbital currents, merging acoustics with cutting-edge electron ...

What are the loudest sounds at UB? Where are the university’s quietest spots? What unlikely noises here are around 60 decibels, the level typically associated with a normal conversation between two ...

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 ...

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.

BYU Physics professor Brian Anderson works with students to align loudspeakers in a sound experiment that used time reversal ...

Ordinarily, light transmits the same in both directions: if I can see you, you can see me. Now, however, researchers have created a device that uses travelling sound waves to break this symmetry, ...

Although few people ever get the chance to travel at the speed of sound, it is an alluring flight goal and an impressive technological feat. Though average people have flown at high speeds on ...
