When the experimental XB-1 aircraft achieved supersonic speeds on a test flight, it did not create a disruptive sonic boom – ...

Scientists have unlocked a previously unseen behavior of acoustic waves, opening up new possibilities for cutting-edge ...

So-called Rayleigh–Bloch waves can release an enormous amount of energy that can damage technical systems under certain circumstances. They only exist below a precisely defined cut-off frequency ...

In fact, the discovery actually supports a key part of the theory about how chorus waves work. Using data from the ...

Listen to the haunting audio clip of sound waves from a supermassive black hole 250 million light-years away, captured by ...

Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 has broken the sound barrier, paving the way for faster commercial flights if future tests succeed.

Two engineering students of George Mason University in the United States have made a prototype of a sound device that can put ...

Chorus waves, quick bursts of energy known to occur relatively close to Earth and around other planets, were found in an ...

Turbulence can also occur in sound waves that propagate chaotically in certain media, such as superfluid helium. In the 1970s, Soviet scientists proposed that turbulence occurs when sound waves ...
