Mathematicians and engineers have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never repeats. The results, they say, could result in ...

A strange form of matter called a time crystal has fascinated physicists for about a decade. These systems move in repeating ...

Researchers develop an innovative sound wave sensor to quickly and accurately detect elusive helium gas leaks, enhancing ...

A boiling tea kettle diffuses its heat to gradually warm surrounding air, yet it will still be the warmest region even as it, too, slowly cools. But what if the kettle cooled down to room temperature ...

Earthquakes create ripple effects in Earth's upper atmosphere that can disrupt satellite communications and navigation systems we rely on. Scientists have now used Japan's extensive network of Global ...

Kelvin wakes: patterns seen in cleaved silicon resemble the wakes made by these boats. (Courtesy: Arpingstone) Unwanted roughness on cleaved silicon surfaces is created by an acoustic effect that is ...

It’s a question I’m sure was keeping you up at night: can you make an object spin with a sound wave? The answer, generally speaking, used to be no. Now, though, mechanical engineers have taken a look ...

Mathematicians and engineers at the University of Utah have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never repeats. The results, they ...
