The content discusses the fundamentals of acoustics, focusing on sound refraction, the anatomy of the ear, and how sound ...

In the context of sensory modalities, eyes work like tiny antennae, picking up light, electromagnetic waves traveling at ...

Audible sound can affect gene activity in mouse cells, boosting the attachment of muscle precursors to surrounding tissue and ...

Sound waves are produced by a vibrating object. Everything that makes a sound must have a part that vibrates.

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

However, during an inversion, when air temperatures increase with altitude instead of decreasing, sound waves can be deflected toward the ground, amplifying the thunder. This phenomenon is more common ...

Sound is carried by atoms and molecules. In space, with no atoms or molecules to carry a sound wave, there’s no sound.

Sound waves and sea creatures Thousands of marine species from microscopic zooplankton to the largest cetaceans rely on sound for survival and many have evolved unique oral and aural adaptations.

Sound—in the form of shock waves—helps sculpt the beautiful, delicate structures of some supernova remnants, such as those seen here in a Hubble Space Telescope image of the Veil Nebula.

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

Sound waves power ping-pong ball through aquatic obstacle course 'Wave momentum shaping' may offer a noninvasive method for guiding drugs inside human bodies. Andrew Paul Jun 26, 2024 12:01 PM EDT ...
