Like sound waves, ocean waves are energy moving through water. This is probably the easiest type of wave to see in action. KDKA Remember, mechanical waves are caused by a disturbance.

Imagine navigating a pitch-black room and knowing exactly where every object is without ever switching on a light.

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.

New architecture could be used to create tailored devices that emit or receive only certain frequencies of sound ...

For instance, there's no mistaking the deep, savage growl of a classic 426 Hemi V8, or the trumpet-like bellowing of the Nissan GT-R's V6 at full tilt -- particularly the special R35 version. Some ...

Sound waves travel through different types of matter, including liquid water. Importantly, the movement of ocean water can greatly affect how sound waves travel from one point to another.

Scientists successfully filmed sound waves in a diamond crystal structure for the first time ever using an X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL).

Sound waves are produced by a vibrating object. Everything that makes a sound must have a part that vibrates.

The sound waves generated in this way can for instance enable a recurrent functionality in a telecom optical fiber, which is essential to interpreting contextual information such as language.

Simply measuring them can change their state. Instead of pushing through those limits, he took a different route—one that uses sound waves as stand-ins for quantum particles.
