Researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory have invented an innovative way for different types of quantum technology to “talk” to each other using sound. The study, ...

In this study, which is detailed in Nature Physics, Fleury and colleagues used audible sound waves to move a macroscopic floating object. Their next goal is to miniaturize the technique so that they ...

A research team has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both spin and orbital angular momentum like light does. The findings shattered ...

MIT physicists captured images that revealed the behavior of heat as waves for the first time in rare states of matter, like superfluids.

Yale scientists used laser light to gain access to long-lived sound waves in crystalline solids as the basis for information storage. The result was published online April 2 in the journal Nature ...

Physicists propose a new maximum rate that sound waves can travel under conditions normally found on Earth — 36 kilometers per second.

A new machine that levitates objects using sound waves can manipulate several particles at once.

Using light or sound waves, they can lift and control the motion of a small object, like a tiny tractor beam. These are exciting developments, but have very stringent requirements to work.

Sound Waves Could Stop Tsunamis | Chemistry And PhysicsTsunamis are incredibly large waves cause by the displacement of water generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides and other large ...

When a high explosive detonates, the increase in pressure is so rapid that the waves move faster than sound, creating a shock wave ...
