Scientists at ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne have developed a device that directs sound waves in one direction without wasting energy. This breakthrough sound wave ...

Researchers have now created a new type of glass using nothing but sound waves and salt. Sure, that might sound like one heck of a science experiment—and in a way, it is—but it's also a major ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

Researchers designed a novel heat pump that uses sound waves to move thermal energy, producing additional heat. The team from China produced an unprecedented amount of heat with their system, and ...

Optical neural networks may provide the high-speed and large-capacity solution necessary to tackle challenging computing tasks. However, tapping their full potential will require further advances. One ...

A group of researchers in Chicago have developed a potential new form of brain cancer therapy that could reduce patients’ odds of recurrence. The treatment uses sound waves to improve the body’s ...
