In a new study, Japanese researchers found that acoustic sound waves can influence how our cells behave — including halting fat development. “Since sound is non-material, acoustic stimulation ...

My research group has just published a paper demonstrating how underwater sound waves can be used to make surface waves more powerful, potentially making them a more viable source of energy.

The monkeys' "ultra-yodels" had frequency leaps that were five times larger than human frequency changes, often exceeding three octaves. (Human yodelers are limited to one octave.) While the monkeys' ...

Both humans, monkeys have a pair of vocal folds in their larynx which vibrate to create sound. Yodellers of the ... on in the larynx of black and gold howler monkeys, tufted capuchins, black ...

Paris (AFP) – Yodellers of the world, you never stood a chance: Monkeys will always be better at yodelling than humans because they have a "cheap trick" hidden in their voice box, scientists ...

When monkeys howl — or yodelers yodel — they rapidly switch back and forth between low and high-frequency sounds. This is in contrast to opera ... what was going on in the larynx of black and gold ...

These voice breaks occur when the monkeys switch sound production from the vocal folds to the vocal membranes. The calls produced possess the same rapid transitions in frequency heard in Alpine ...

They have been lost in humans as we evolved more stable speech. Latin American species of howler monkey, capuchin squirrel monkey and Peruvian spider monkey have the largest membranes of all primates.
