On the rise. Signs of convection are seen in the motion of hot gas under the influence of a gravity-like acoustic force in a spherical glass container. The images were recorded 15, 40, and 140 ...

Mechanical engineers have demonstrated a set of prototypes for manipulating particles and cells in a Petri dish using sound waves. The devices, known in the scientific community as 'acoustic tweezers, ...

In the ETH experiment, self-oscillations (blue-red) cause sound waves (green, orange, violet) to travel through the circulator only in one direction. Credit: Xin Zou Researchers at ETH Zurich have ...

Sound is everywhere, but what if certain frequencies could actually change how your body feels? From vibrations that make you ...

In 1806, German scientist Ernst Chladni experimented with sound by making wires, columns of air, and solids vibrate. His experiments became so famous, even Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte wanted to know ...

The acoustic properties of an ultracold fermion gas have been measured either side of the superfluid transition temperature in an experiment that has been described as “near perfect” and “beautiful”.

For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Optogenetics was a revolution, it’s true. It was the CRISPR/CAS9 of a few years ago. It forced mild mannered scientists everywhere to bacchanal parties. The 2010 Nature Method of the year allowed ...
