What if your phone could silence everything around you, negating the need for noise-cancelling headphones when you're in noisy spaces? I saw AI do exactly that.

Ian Brockwell used his welding skills to help create a 42-foot-tall chandelier that turns sound into art. It's showcased at ...

A trio of researchers at Columbia University has found more evidence showing that sound waves carry mass. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, Angelo Esposito, Rafael ...

Researchers at Harvard have demonstrated a way to protect quantum information using microscopic sound waves. By continuously surrounding a diamond-based qubit with mechanical vibrations, they extended ...

When exposed to stress and strain, materials can display a wide range of different properties. By using sound waves, scientists have begun to explore fundamental stress behaviors in a crystalline ...

A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both rotation and orbital angular momentum ...

The wonder of the sound of wavesThe sound of waves is one of the sounds in the natural world that provides comfort to many people. The murmuring of waves, repeated in a constant rhythm, has properties ...

This issue's Unit Study provides several ways to study hearing. For Give it a Try, we'll go a little further and look at the principles behind why we hear, and what we hear. We'll start with two ...

In the new device, an array of 256 speakers, each about 1 centimeter wide, faces another, identical speaker array across a distance of 23 centimeters. The speakers emit sound waves at frequencies too ...
