Three physicists from RIKEN have illustrated the ability of an ultrafast form of transmission electron microscopy to quantify sound waves in nanostructures. A cutaway of the ultrafast transmission ...

Determining the "loudest recorded sound" depends on how you define sound and on which measurements you choose to include.

Although few people ever get the chance to travel at the speed of sound, it is an alluring flight goal and an impressive technological feat. Though average people have flown at high speeds on ...

Northwestern researchers have created the world's first audio simulation of twinkling stars. They did this by converting simulations of gas waves produced inside stars into sound waves. They hope the ...

The microsphere, levitated by the dual beam optical tweezer (green), is driven by the active optomechanical system (red) to generate nonlinear phonon lasers (coloured waves). Meanwhile, the injected ...

A classic movie was once promoted with the punchline: ”In space, no one can hear you scream”. Physicists Zhuoran Geng and Ilari Maasilta from the Nanoscience Center at the University of Jyväskylä, ...
