Tiny, artificial earthquake-like waves generated by lasers may be the key to smaller, faster, and more efficient computer ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

In context: Sound waves typically propagate in forward and backward directions. This natural movement is problematic in some situations where unwanted reflections cause interference or reduced ...

The power of sound reaches far beyond your ears. While you're used to hearing sound through music, voices, or noise, your body is also quietly listening—at the cellular level. Recent research shows ...

At the start of my career, I used to do acoustic testing in an anechoic chamber where sound is not reflected as it gets absorbed. But the quietness of these chambers always got me thinking of how ...
