Researchers have discovered a simple yet powerful way to protect atoms from losing information—a key challenge in developing ...

New architecture could be used to create tailored devices that emit or receive only certain frequencies of sound ...

The book considers classical aspects of the modelling of random processes in physics. It discusses several aspects of brownian motion, markovian processes, thermal noise and shot noise, using the ...

When it comes to the physics of hearing, researchers know that when sound reaches the cochlea, it is converted into electrical signals. Auditory hairs in the cochlea pass along the signals and ...

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.

A plastic structure separates white noise into pitches, like a rainbow splits light into colors, offering a novel way to manipulate sound.

The sound of clapping, explained by physics. Experiments show that a phenomenon called Helmholtz resonance explains the sound. Clapping hands spew out a jet of air, visualized here by baby powder.

Students recently traversed the North Campus to answer these questions, with physics. Equipped with sound level meters (i.e., their smartphones), they’ve measured and recorded sound levels in various ...

Scientists at MIT have directly captured signs of “second sound” in a superfluid for the first time. This bizarre phenomenon occurs when heat moves like sound waves through an unusual state of ...

‘Oppenheimer’ Sound Editor Richard King on Going “Down the Rabbit Hole With Quantum Physics” In His Research. King, who is Oscar-nominated for his work on the historical epic, on how his ...
