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 ...

When a drummer hits a drum, the surface vibrates and creates sound—a signal we recognize as music. But once those vibrations ...

Music for your cells . The new research builds on a 2018 study by Kumeta and his team that found that sound waves can influence genes involved in bone formation and wound healing. “To ...

The process used to direct the sound waves not only guides the waves in one direction but the researchers say it also amplifies them. From ETH Zurich: “Schematics of the experimental set-up ...

The SONU Band uses personalized sound therapy—not steroids—to redefine allergy relief. Inside the startup behind SONU, the AI ...

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.

Quantum physics’ oddities seem less surprising if you stop thinking of atoms as ... however, the sound wave would spread out just as expected, but as soon as a single person in the crowd ...

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.
