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.

Optical neural networks may provide the high-speed and large-capacity solution necessary to tackle challenging computing tasks. However, tapping their full potential will require further advances. One ...

In the rapidly evolving world of neuroscience, breakthroughs are constantly emerging, aiming to improve our cognitive functions and enhance our overall mental well-being. Among the latest innovations ...

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

At the start of my career, I used to do acoustic testing in an anechoic chamber where sound is not reflected as it gets absorbed. But the quietness of these chambers always got me thinking of how ...

In holographic direct sound printing, a transducer emits high-acoustic pressure sound waves, inducing a sonochemical reaction called cavitation that creates solid material inside the build chamber. A ...
