For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Researchers have engineered a silk fabric that can suppress noise by either generating sound waves that interfere with the noise or by blocking vibrations that are key to the transmission of sound.

We are surrounded by waves. tiny vibrational waves transport sound to our ears. Light waves stimulate the retinas of our eyes. Electromagnetic waves bring radio, television and endless streaming ...

In research published in Science Advances, a group led by scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) have used a principle, "magneto-rotation coupling," to suppress the ...

Phononic crystal: the barrier was created using two different lattices that comprised acrylic cylinders. (Courtesy: University of Hong Kong) A curious effect called “Klein tunnelling” has been ...

Joe Surfer asks: What? Excuse me? I didn’t catch that? What did you say? Could you repeat that? Huh? Sound familiar? Well then maybe you or some surfer you know suffers from exostosis of the external ...

If you want healthy plants, some people say you should talk to them. If you want to make delicious cheese, try playing hip-hop music. That's the finding of a recent experiment by researchers in ...

MIT scientists want to map the entire ocean so we can understand how climate change is forcing it to evolve. Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, ...
