The process is very similar to ultrasound imaging, however the sound waves used are within normal hearing range, and they are used to identify objects rather than internal structures. This ...

Metamaterials, known for their ability to manipulate classical waves like sound and light, have now been leveraged to simulate Schrödinger dynamics—a cornerstone of quantum mechanics.

New research suggests that sound waves can influence cellular activity, including stopping the development of fat.

When a sound is loud enough, it doesn’t just ring in your ears — it seems to vibrate through your bones and your chest too.

It discusses the role of wave interference in producing holograms, using sound and light waves as examples. The film demonstrates the use of lasers to capture and reconstruct images through ...

Let's go back to those sound waves from before. See, sound waves, like light waves, have peaks and valleys. Noise-cancelling headphones have their own built-in microphone. And when the headphone's ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their ...

A new study shows that sound isn’t just heard by the ears. Sound waves altered gene expression and influenced fat cell ...

Sound waves travel through different types of matter, including liquid water. Importantly, the movement of ocean water can greatly affect how sound waves travel from one point to another.

Refraction close refractionProcess by which a wave changes speed and sometimes direction upon entering a denser or less dense medium, eg a light ray changes direction when refracted by a lens.
