An international research team led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon has, for the first time, succeeded in visualizing and ...

A laser-equipped research platform has, for the first time, photographed airflow just millimeters above ocean waves, revealing two simultaneous wind–wave energy-transfer tricks—slow short waves steal ...

The resulting IC uses surface acoustic waves and can image objects more than 100 feet away. We would imagine this could be helpful for other applications like 3D scanning, too.

The potential of an ultrafast form of transmission electron microscopy to measure sound waves in nanostructures has been demonstrated by three RIKEN physicists 1. This could help realize a ...

For their receiver, the researchers used a 52-element acoustic array from the head of a torpedo. They also developed special image-reconstruction software to convert the sound waves reflected from ...

Astronomers have discovered a mysterious new type of acoustic wave on the surface of the sun. These high-frequency waves, shown above, swirl three times faster than predicted by current working ...

Researchers at the University of Rochester have used surface acoustic waves to overcome a significant obstacle in the quest to realize a quantum internet.

A new MIT study has examined the possibility of acoustic-gravity waves – high-speed sound waves often generated by underwater earthquakes and landslides – acting as an early warning of ...

Researchers have shown that the properties of graphene can be locally and dynamically modulated by means of a surface acoustic wave, a kind of earthquake on a chip, generated with an integrated ...

Scientists used the CHARA Array atop Mount Wilson in California to resolve previously unknown features of the North Star.
