Physically, sound is just pressure moving through a medium. If you harness that pressure correctly, you can actually push things around using nothing but sound. That's exactly what researchers at ...

Researchers have succeeded in directing floating objects around an aquatic obstacle course using only soundwaves. Their novel, optics-inspired method holds great promise for biomedical applications ...

Scientists at Japan’s Nagoya University have used Japan’s extensive network of GNSS receivers to create the first 3D images of atmospheric disturbances caused by the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.

A metamaterial is a composite material that exhibits unique properties due to its structure, and now researchers have used one featuring a small sawtooth pattern on its surface to move and position ...

A team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light led by Dr. Birgit Stiller has succeeded in cooling traveling sound waves in waveguides considerably further than has ...

In most materials, heat prefers to scatter. If left alone, a hotspot will gradually fade as it warms its surroundings. But in rare states of matter, heat can behave as a wave, moving back and forth ...

When a bright fireball streaked across the Alaska sky last spring, the usual tools scientists rely on to track such ...
