The range of materials that concrete contains scatters normal sound waves, making clear imaging difficult to obtain.

UChicago Medicine is using a new technology to destroy liver tumors without radiation, chemotherapy or even cutting the skin. Called histotripsy, it destroys tumors using sound waves. Amber Sikes was ...

The top layer represents the location of the sound source and the path of sound propagation (A). The bottom layers represent convergence zones with different sound propagation paths (B-F). Sound waves ...

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 — ...

In the ETH experiment, self-oscillations (blue-red) cause sound waves (green, orange, violet) to travel through the circulator only in one direction. Credit: Xin Zou Researchers at ETH Zurich have ...

I explain how certain sound waves could potentially harm humans under specific conditions.

In context: Sound waves typically propagate in forward and backward directions. This natural movement is problematic in some situations where unwanted reflections cause interference or reduced ...
