Futuristic control of structure in some materials is being made possible by a physics loophole.

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Former elementary school teacher Matt Shurtleff — known to many students as “Matt the Mad Scientist” — demonstrated how sound waves move using water and lasers. Shurtleff, who ...

I don’t write often about reactions I receive to columns, but I think you’ll be interested in the three-act drama that followed my piece last week on how we’re using artificial intelligence to cover ...

Sound wave techniques are experimental and analytical methods that generate, manipulate, and detect acoustic waves to probe, image, or modify materials and systems. In research, they encompass ...

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 ...

PACIFIC PALISADES, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A new high-tech system puts out fires using sound waves. It may seem like magic but it's not - it's science. This revolutionary technology from Sonic Fire Tech ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., second only to heart disease. But a new cancer treatment method from CU Boulder researchers uses sound waves to soften tumors and could be a ...

A wildfire burns in the hills of a Los Angeles suburb, leaping from one patch of dry brush to another as it approaches a cluster of homes. The landscaping at the first house burns, but the house ...

Have you ever stepped outside on a frigid, quiet morning and heard sounds emanating from somewhere far away? It's not your imagination—cold air really does carry sound farther. Sound begins with ...

Acoustic frequency filters help smartphones separate signals for mobile networks, Wi-Fi, and GPS. Researchers at RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau now say they have demonstrated a new physical effect that ...

I’m one of about 60 people lying on individual air mattresses, drifting along the surface of the pool inside the giant, glass Natatorium at the Dublin Wave Water Park and Aquatic Center. On this ...
