Two piezoelectric solids 1, 2 are separated by a vacuum gap of width d. An incoming acoustic wave from solid 1 (positive z-axis of a laboratory coordinates xyz) with an incident angle θ i tunnels ...

Finally, someone can hear you scream in space. Sound waves can’t travel through the vacuum of space, but a pair of physicists in Finland have found a sneaky way to transmit sound across the airless ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - The universe is full of waves, and they are not all created equally. Some are mechanical, and others are electromagnetic, even though they are all energy! Not all waves are created ...

A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both rotation and orbital angular momentum ...

Imagine that you are carefully submerged in a pool of water to the level of halfway up the pupil of your eye. Half of your view is above water and the other half below. Imagine that the water is as ...

Researchers have engineered a silk fabric that can suppress noise by either generating sound waves that interfere with the noise or by blocking vibrations that are key to the transmission of sound.

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, ...
