Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

Exotic states of matter known as time crystals are largely considered a quantum phenomenon. Now, a team from New York University (NYU) has shown that a classical time crystal can emerge in a far ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have managed to make sound waves travel only in one direction. In the future, this method could also be used in technical applications with electromagnetic waves. Water, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sound waves traveling thousands of kilometers through the ocean may help scientists monitor climate change. As greenhouse gas emissions warm the planet, the ocean is absorbing vast amounts of that ...

A sound wave is a vibration that travels through a solid, liquid or gas such as the air or water. A loud sound has a large amplitude, a high pitched sound has a high frequency. Musicians and ...

When you think of visualizing sound, you might think of the iTunes visualizers you used to play with years ago, or perhaps a waveform that shows the volume of a digital audio file comes to mind. The ...
