Ultrasound imaging isn’t just about moving a probe—it’s about understanding the physics that make every pixel possible. From wave mechanics to Doppler concepts, mastering these principles helps ...

Acoustic metamaterials are a fast-evolving family of materials which manipulate sound waves in ever more advanced ways. Now, a team led by Changqing Xu at Nanjing Normal University in China has ...

In physics, a mechanical kink marks the point of transition between different internal states of a material. Researchers have now succeeded in creating a model in which they were able to move the kink ...

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KGO) -- The San Bernardino County Fire Department is testing a new firefighting system that uses sound waves instead of water to extinguish flames. It may sound like something ...

Water has long been the go-to when it comes to fighting a fire. But what about sound waves? It might be hard to wrap your head around the concept at first, but the San Bernardino County Fire ...

The San Bernardino County Fire Department tested new technology on Monday designed to help suppress fires by using sound waves. The live demonstration, which was conducted with Sonic Fire Tech, ...

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Former elementary school teacher Matt Shurtleff — known to many students as “Matt the Mad Scientist” — demonstrated how sound waves move using water and lasers. Shurtleff, who ...

Researchers designed a novel heat pump that uses sound waves to move thermal energy, producing additional heat. The team from China produced an unprecedented amount of heat with their system, and ...
