Mathematicians and engineers have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never repeats. The results, they say, could result in ...

HOUSTON -- Recordings made by instruments sensitive to sound below the threshold of human hearing may help investigators build a timeline of any uncharacteristic movements made by the space shuttle ...

Scientists at Japan’s Nagoya University have used Japan’s extensive network of GNSS receivers to create the first 3D images of atmospheric disturbances caused by the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Kelvin wakes: patterns seen in cleaved silicon resemble the wakes made by these boats. (Courtesy: Arpingstone) Unwanted roughness on cleaved silicon surfaces is created by an acoustic effect that is ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Mechanical engineers at Duke University are using two electronic “voices” singing a harmonic duet to control suspended particles and cells in new and valuable ways. Their prototype ...

Geek artists are taking it to hilt this weekend in a massive concrete bunker where London's Kinetica Art Fair is holding its second annual robot-palooza. There, one artist tattooed his calves with ...

A boiling tea kettle diffuses its heat to gradually warm surrounding air, yet it will still be the warmest region even as it, too, slowly cools. But what if the kettle cooled down to room temperature ...

Instruments typically used to detect the ground motion of earthquakes can also be used to identify the type of aircraft ...

Mathematicians and engineers at the University of Utah have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never repeats. The results, they ...
