Electromagnetic waves bring radio, television and endless streaming content to our devices. Remarkably, all these different waves are governed largely by the same fundamental physical principles.

Ever wondered why a Ford Mustang V8 rumbles and a Nissan GTR V6 whines? Well, you'd better concentrate, because it's more complicated than you may think.

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

Each transmitter works at a different frequency. This means it requires little computing power to determine which fiber the sound waves have changed on.

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.

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 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.

In a nutshell Sound waves can influence how cells behave, even affecting fat development. In lab experiments, exposing cells to common sound frequencies like a 440 Hz tone significantly altered ...

A plastic structure separates white noise into pitches, like a rainbow splits light into colors, offering a novel way to manipulate sound.

Researchers at ETH Zurich develop smart textiles that use acoustic waves instead of electronics to measure touch, pressure and movement precisely. SonoTextiles work with glass microfibres that conduct ...
