Insights into how mixing layers scatter sound waves could further understanding of acoustic sources in open-jet wind tunnel ...

Scientists have long known that water waves generate infrasound, but now they can identify individual breaking waves in recordings. Credit: Emiliano Arano, Pexels “It’s a good thing we can’t hear it ...

What Is a Sound Bath? A sound bath is a meditative experience where you lie down and let waves of sound wash over you. There’s no water involved. The “bath” part comes from how sound surrounds you, ...

The Sonu Band uses personalized sound therapy—not steroids—to redefine allergy relief. Soundhealth, the startup behind Sonu, announced the AI wellness wearable is FDA-cleared for children. There’s ...

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.

Metamaterials are novel composites containing structures that produce unique effects. In Zhang’s case, he structured his metamaterial with a sawtooth-patterned surface. The novel surface allows sound ...

A University of Texas at Austin scientist has demonstrated a technique for using sound waves to detect unexploded munitions (UXOs) on the seafloor. This novel application of sound could offer an ...

At the start of my career, I used to do acoustic testing in an anechoic chamber where sound is not reflected as it gets absorbed. But the quietness of these chambers always got me thinking of how ...

That now classic tagline (from Alien, one of the greatest science-fiction horror movies ever made) hinges on a big assumption that most of us broadly make: space is empty. And it is—mostly. But there ...
