Imagine three people huddled in a circle so when one speaks, only one other hears. Scientists have created a device that works like that, ensuring sound waves ripple in one direction only. The device, ...

In laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves into invisible “hands” that can lift, push, and rotate objects without a ...

In context: Sound waves typically propagate in forward and backward directions. This natural movement is problematic in some situations where unwanted reflections cause interference or reduced ...

A stellar concert is playing out in the night sky, and scientists are learning how to listen to it like never before. Deep inside stars, sound waves move through hot gas, creating vibrations. These ...

Researchers develop an innovative sound wave sensor to quickly and accurately detect elusive helium gas leaks, enhancing ...
