Sound waves travel through different types of matter, including liquid water. Importantly, the movement of ocean water can greatly affect how sound waves travel from one point to another.

From sound "canyons" to temperature inversion layers, we looked at the factors that influence how sound moves in the city.

So, researchers developed a method to make sound waves travel in only one direction. The innovation has far-reaching applications that go beyond acoustics, such as radar.

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.

Sound waves generated from entire fault lines, not single points South of the epicenter, the researchers observed a tilted sound wave pattern that gradually became more vertical over time. When an ...

For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum.

But let us not confuse these sounds with the traditional sound waves we have on Earth. They can’t travel in the vacuum of space like they do on Earth; the cosmos is full of vibrations, radio ...

Mesoscale eddies can affect how sound waves propagate in the ocean, depending on their size, speed, current direction and location. Understanding these effects are critical for accurate underwater ...
