Futuristic control of structure in some materials is being made possible by a physics loophole.

Researchers have revealed how high-frequency sound waves can be used to build new materials, make smart nanoparticles and even deliver drugs to the lungs for painless, needle-free vaccinations. While ...

Forget fad diets and sketchy supplements, your favorite song might be the key to staying thin. In a new study, Japanese researchers found that acoustic sound waves can influence how our cells behave — ...

Sound waves travel through different types of matter, including liquid water. Importantly, the movement of ocean water can greatly affect how sound waves travel from one point to another. Mesoscale ...

Scientists managed to significantly boost the production of green hydrogen using sound waves in a clean energy breakthrough. The "exciting" study combined high-frequency sound waves with less ...

Sound wave techniques are experimental and analytical methods that generate, manipulate, and detect acoustic waves to probe, image, or modify materials and systems. In research, they encompass ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne have developed a device that directs sound waves in one direction without wasting energy. This breakthrough sound wave ...
