Recordings made by instruments sensitive to sound below the threshold of human hearing may help investigators build a timetable of any uncharacteristic movements made by the space shuttle Columbia ...

The area of sound is fascinating researchers and after a recent study of bendable sound waves that could result in localised reception, they have now delved into how sound can be used in weight loss.

Sound waves are longitudinal waves. Their vibrations occur in the same direction as the direction of travel. Sound waves can only travel through a solid, liquid or gas. When an object or substance ...

KYOTO, Japan — Your body is having conversations you can’t hear. At the cellular level, sound waves are creating physical reactions that could transform weight management. Japanese researchers have ...

Sound and other waves usually propagate equally forwards and backwards. Researchers have now developed a method that prevents sound waves from travelling backwards without deteriorating their ...

Welcome to science world! Now, most people will associate waves with water, but water isn't the only thing that travels in waves. No, sound also travels in waves. So when you hit something it vibrates ...

Believe it or not, levitating objects aren't just the stuff of science fiction and magic shows. There are actually many different forms of levitation including something called acoustic levitation, ...

Thousands of marine species from microscopic zooplankton to the largest cetaceans rely on sound for survival and many have evolved unique oral and aural adaptations. Understanding them better could ...
