While mileage races can sound boring, Michigan consistently delivers one of the most thrilling spectacles in stock car racing.

Discover how clapping is more than a social gesture—it's a complex scientific phenomenon involving rhythm, physics, and human connection across cultures.

The Real Sound of Clapping Isn’t From Your Hands Hitting Each Other A simple gesture hides a complex interplay of air, flesh, and fluid mechanics.

The study, published in the journal Physical Review Research, shows that the sound of a clap is not just due to two hands smashing into each other.

A new study reveals that clapping sound isn’t just from palm collision. It’s caused by trapped air escaping rapidly, creating vibrations that produce the familiar 'pop' ...

Clapping creates sound through air pressure, not just hand impact. Shape, speed, and skin softness change the sound.

Scientists finally crack mystery of how clapping generates sound Study finds sound isn’t just from two hands smashing into each other ...

Speed affects volume in a predictable way. The faster you clap, the higher the pressure builds in your palm cavity, and the louder the resulting sound.

Nearly every human culture uses clapping to cheer, protest, pray or perform, but a new study reveals that the familiar gesture is as much a scientific event as it is a social one.

Speed affects volume in a predictable way. The faster you clap, the higher the pressure builds in your palm cavity, and the louder the resulting sound. The researchers established a quadratic scaling ...
