The top layer represents the location of the sound source and the path of sound propagation (A). The bottom layers represent convergence zones with different sound propagation paths (B-F). Sound waves ...

In context: Sound waves typically propagate in forward and backward directions. This natural movement is problematic in some situations where unwanted reflections cause interference or reduced ...

Summer is the season of sound in Chicago: from fireworks to car stereos, the jingle of paleta carts to outdoor concerts. But hearing a concert from over four miles away? That’s exactly what happened ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the context of sensory modalities, eyes work like tiny antennae, picking up light, electromagnetic waves traveling at ...

How do people keep the beat to music? When people listen to songs, slow waves of activity in the brain correspond to the ...

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 ...
