It’s a question I’m sure was keeping you up at night: can you make an object spin with a sound wave? The answer, generally speaking, used to be no. Now, though, mechanical engineers have taken a look ...

A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both rotation and orbital angular momentum ...

We saw earlier that when sound waves come from correlated sources then their pressure and associated velocity components simply add. This meant that the pressure amplitude could vary between zero and ...

This article was originally published on The Conversation. Read the original article. We know that there is sound on planets and moons in the solar system—places where there's a medium through which ...

Look at that mountain! Imagine you are standing at the base of a volcano looking up. You were told that the volcano isn’t going to erupt anytime soon, but you notice a little bit of smoke (or is that ...

Researchers have constructed a 'meta-mirror' device capable of perfectly reflecting sound waves in any direction. The proof-of-principle demonstration is analogous to looking directly into a mirror ...

Forget fad diets and sketchy supplements, your favorite song might be the key to staying thin. In a new study, Japanese researchers found that acoustic sound waves can influence how our cells behave — ...
