Acoustics is the branch of science that studies the propagation of sound and vibrational waves. Audible acoustic waves are ubiquitous in our everyday experience: they form the basis of verbal human ...

Researchers have pioneered the use of parallel computing on graphics cards to simulate acoustic turbulence. This type of simulation, which previously required a supercomputer, can now be performed on ...

It’s a question I’m sure was keeping you up at night: can you make an object spin with a sound wave? The answer, generally speaking, used to be no. Now, though, mechanical engineers have taken a look ...

We are surrounded by waves. tiny vibrational waves transport sound to our ears. Light waves stimulate the retinas of our eyes. Electromagnetic waves bring radio, television and endless streaming ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We live our entire lives surrounded by them. They slam into us ...

Introduction Did you know that not all animals use their ears to hear sounds? Snakes, for example, perceive sound waves through their jawbones! And many insects perceive sound waves through their ...
