For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum.

The film explains the fundamentals of acoustics, detailing how sound waves travel through air, the effects of temperature on sound speed, and the phenomenon of refraction. It describes the anatomy ...

Sound can induce changes in cells and one team of researchers think this could be an effective way to manipulate their behavior, including for the treatment of disease. Sound waves are variations ...

It’s music to your inner ear — literally. A study out of Japan recently found sound waves could potentially help you lose weight. Now, another study courtesy of Japanese scientists has ...

Discover how the protein in the ear acts as a molecular gatekeeper, crucial for sound conversion into brain signals.

The Batband uses the principle of bone conduction: your skull bones transmit high frequency sound waves directly to your inner ear. This technology has existed since the 1970s, used by and large ...

Water does a much better job than air of conducting sound waves, but that extra conductivity makes it harder, not easier, to tell where a sound comes from.

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

As you probably know, sound travels in waves, moving the air molecules. These waves travel through the air and into your ear canal, where they vibrate your eardrum.
