A Stradivarius violin is one of the most prized instruments in classical music. The few musicians lucky enough to play an ...

The technology could support advances in high-speed communication systems, sensing tools, biological materials, and medical technologies.

The device, described in a recent Physical Review Letters paper, generates phonons—a quantum mechanical description of ...

Researchers at McGill University have developed a novel device that generates sound-like particles known as phonons at ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

From vibrating guitar strings to the patterns on an oscilloscope, music offers a hands-on way to explore physics. Teachers are blending sound, science, and creativity through STEAM lessons that make ...

Sound has a speed limit. Under normal circumstances, its waves can travel no faster than about 36 kilometers per second, physicists propose October 9 in Science Advances. Sound zips along at different ...

Researchers in Switzerland have found a way of using sound waves to manipulate objects in disordered environments such as liquids. Instead of trapping the objects as conventional optical and acoustic ...
