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, ...

Researchers have pioneered the use of parallel computing on graphics cards to simulate acoustic turbulence. This type of simulation, which previously required a supercomputer, can now be performed on ...

A team of researchers at RMIT University has developed a new coating method that sounds almost futuristic. Using ...

Ultrasonic espresso’ made with cold water and high-frequency sound waves uses less energy than the traditional version – and taste tests show it’s just as good.

Sound waves, as mechanical stimuli, have emerged as a versatile means to modulate plant physiology, growth and defence. At audible and ultrasonic frequencies, these vibrations can influence seed ...

What if you could listen to music or a podcast without headphones or earbuds and without disturbing anyone around you? Or have a private conversation in public without other people hearing you? Newly ...
