Chen Shen, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Rowan University, uses acoustic science to spin and manipulate sound waves for micro applications including miniature robotics and new ...

Yushun Zeng squishes cancer cells in a petri dish at work. No, not with his ungainly, macroscopic human fingers. Zeng, an engineering graduate student at the University of Southern California, has ...

For the triangle, researchers captured proof that resonance occurs even with the notched, open corner, and it may occur in other instrument shapes as well. WASHINGTON, May 6, 2025 – The triangle is a ...

Acoustic metamaterials are a fast-evolving family of materials which manipulate sound waves in ever more advanced ways. Now, a team led by Changqing Xu at Nanjing Normal University in China has ...

The film explains the fundamentals of acoustics, detailing how sound waves travel through air, the effects of temperature on sound speed, and the phenomenon of refraction. It describes the anatomy of ...

Gik Acoustics makes acoustic panels that don’t look like weird hunks of insulation. Its SoundBlocks system that I tried out ...

Traditional computer chips run on electricity, while the emerging photonic chips use light. Now, scientists at Harvard have demonstrated a new kind of chip that transmits data in the form of sound ...

We saw earlier that when sound waves come from correlated sources then their pressure and associated velocity components simply add. This meant that the pressure amplitude could vary between zero and ...

So far we have only considered sound in isolation and we have seen that sound has velocity, frequency, wavelength and reduces in intensity in proportion to the square of the distance from the source.
