Researchers have been pushing the capabilities of materials by carefully designing precise structures that exhibit abnormal properties that can control acoustic or optical waves. However, these ...

Have you ever wondered how vibration influences the sound of your stereo system? Not just the turntable but every component. Learn how to improve the sound of your HiFI with vibration control. The ...

Researchers have engineered a silk fabric that can suppress noise by either generating sound waves that interfere with the noise or by blocking vibrations that are key to the transmission of sound.

A watched pot never boils, goes the old saying, but many of us have at least kept an eye on the pot, waiting for the bubbling to start. It's satisfying to finally see the rolling boil, behind which ...

New research reveals that an area in the brain known as the inferior colliculus plays a critical role in processing both sound and touch in the form of mechanical vibrations to create an augmented ...

A musically driven wellness installation has opened to the public in Times Square. Called THE HUM, the experience is a first ...

Legos are a beloved staple of educational science activities and have even proved useful in particle physics experiments at CERN to explore the properties of hadrons. For Brian Anderson, a physicist ...

This experiment demonstrates how water affects sound waves and pitch. You'll discover how different water levels create different musical notes and learn about the relationship between mass, vibration ...

For about half a century, physicists have puzzled over vibrations in glass at low temperatures. The reason: Glass carries sound waves and vibrations differently than other solids—it "vibrates ...
