A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both rotation and orbital angular momentum ...

A Bay Area sound healer offers a unique twist on sound baths, an increasingly popular form of meditation and healing that is ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Thunder is created by the acoustic shock wave from the extreme heat of a lightning flash. Lightning can reach temperatures of 54,000°F (30,000°C)—five times hotter than the ...

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.

Sound needs a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel. Space is a vacuum, lacking the matter to carry sound waves. No sound in space means no echoes. While a near-perfect vacuum, some sounds can be ...

A team of Caltech researchers is proposing a radical new technique for killing cancer cells using low-intensity ultrasound waves. The preliminary research is still at an incredibly early stage but ...
