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 ...

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini goes over some of the basics (and some of the not so basics) of the Physics of Sound. 08/04/2016 | Rating NR From Problems playing video?

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

New noise: researchers have discovered a new type of noise that is associated with differences in temperature. (Courtesy: iStock/Swillklitch) A new type of electronic noise has been discovered by a ...

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.

Most top universities around the world now offer a course on random processes in physics. During the last years (1985–2001) of his long and productive career, Melvin Lax, one of the protagonists ...

UB undergraduates measure the sound-intensity levels around the North Campus for a physics of music course.

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 ...

The “Helmholtz resonator” concept explains the frequencies of sound produced by clapping the hands together in different configurations.
