Curtin University researchers have developed a new technique to make glass water-repellent, a feature that could improve ...

A group of international researchers have developed a way to use sound to generate different types of wave patterns on the surface of water and use those patterns to precisely control and steer ...

New research suggests that sound waves can influence cellular activity, including stopping the development of fat.

It’s because space doesn’t carry sound in the way we experience it on Earth. There is no air or water to carry pressure waves that create audible sound. But that does not mean the universe is ...

Dolphins are one of the most social mammals. They are highly intelligent as well, utilizing their communication skills to ...

Yet water doesn’t mute sound, but amplifies it. Sound waves travel 4.3 times faster underwater than they do in the air and they retain their energy for much longer.

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.

By varying the amplitude and phase of the sound waves, the researchers were able to vary the wavefronts that reached the ball. These waves then interact with the medium and cause the ball to move.

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.
