Scientists have successfully detected natural vibrational frequencies made by individual viruses. Chemists and microbiologists at Michigan State University used an all-optical method for this ...

Explore the surprising limits of human auditory perception and the range of sounds we can and cannot detect. Al Green will no longer represent Texas' 9th Congressional District Pamela Anderson's 'new ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured the hearing range of minke whales, discovering that the species can detect high-frequency sounds as high as 90 kilohertz (kHz), according to a new ...

Physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of 'modes' within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy blasts, and ...

Brainwave testing of two young baleen whales has revealed they can hear higher frequency sounds than previously thought, forcing researchers to rethink how the ocean’s largest animals respond to ...

Yale physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of “modes” within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy blasts, ...
