Researchers have now created a new type of glass using nothing but sound waves and salt. Sure, that might sound like one heck of a science experiment—and in a way, it is—but it's also a major ...

This created fireworks of sorts, which permanently altered the glass. "The sound waves create microscopic bubbles in a diazonium salt solution, which then collapse rapidly creating tiny bursts of heat ...

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 ...

Researchers have been pushing the capabilities of materials by carefully designing precise structures that exhibit abnormal properties that can control acoustic or optical waves. However, these ...

The film "LearningAboutSound" explores the science of sound, detailing how vibrations create sound waves that travel through different mediums like air, water, and solids. It explains key concepts ...

For about half a century, physicists have puzzled over vibrations in glass at low temperatures. The reason: Glass carries sound waves and vibrations differently than other solids—it "vibrates ...

Researchers have engineered a silk fabric that can suppress noise by either generating sound waves that interfere with the noise or by blocking vibrations that are key to the transmission of sound.

Wellness destinations are catering to guests with live music, vibration treatments and special domes built to calm nerves and ...

A watched pot never boils, goes the old saying, but many of us have at least kept an eye on the pot, waiting for the bubbling to start. It's satisfying to finally see the rolling boil, behind which ...

New research reveals that an area in the brain known as the inferior colliculus plays a critical role in processing both sound and touch in the form of mechanical vibrations to create an augmented ...
