A new University of Mississippi study shows that some sound waves don't just move forward—they also move slightly to the side. Understanding this movement could help researchers develop more precise ...

Scientists explore sound waves as a method to combat fat development. Japanese researchers published findings in Communication Biology journal. Acoustic stimulation changed activity in 145 genes after ...

Sound and other waves usually propagate equally forwards and backwards. Researchers have now developed a method that prevents sound waves from travelling backwards without deteriorating their ...

In the guest blog, physicist Andrea Navarro-Quezada shows the importance of sound waves for our everyday life and research. Almost all of us know the concept of a wave. It is a periodic motion or ...

A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both rotation and orbital angular momentum ...
