How to make a sound wave spin? Hit it with a pipe Spinning sound waves open up new possibilities for acoustic traps and tricks.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have managed to make sound waves travel only in one direction. In the future, this method could ...

Global Real-time Early Assessment of Tsunamis (GREAT), uses sound waves that travel through the ocean much faster than tsunamis and can be detected by underwater microphones called hydrophones.

For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum.

This might sound strange... Heavy metal music isn’t heavy after all – it is actually the opposite. Sound waves have mass and can interact via gravity, but that mass is negative. In other words ...

In an article on page 302, this volume, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, on " the cause of sound and music," the opinion was expressed that the different qualities of sound (those of voices and various ...

Researchers have created a new sound wave director that can target specific ports and mute sound everywhere else.

They then played 1,590Hz sound waves from the speaker array to glide the ball through a pre-planned path while microphones detected feedback known as a scattering matrix as it bounced off the ball.

Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California successfully converted sound waves to light radiation by reversing a process that transforms electricity to sound, which is ...

Back then, the researchers converted the gravitational-wave signal, which LIGO's two huge detectors in Louisiana and Washington state record as a light pattern, into sound waves.

Sound Devices has released a public beta version of its Wave Agent audio utility software. Designed to improve field production workflow, the new software provides comprehensive metadata editing tools ...
