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 ...

"When we couple high-frequency sound waves into fluids, materials and cells, the effects are extraordinary," he says. "We've harnessed the power of these sound waves to develop innovative biomedical ...

In the context of sensory modalities, eyes work like tiny antennae, picking up light, electromagnetic waves traveling at blistering speeds. When humans look at the world, their eyes catch these waves ...

Gayle Anderson learns about Sonic Fire Tech, a startup company founded by former NASA engineers, that uses a patented technology to extinguish wildfires using sound waves. Company officials claim the ...

Researchers have revealed how high-frequency sound waves can be used to build new materials, make smart nanoparticles and even deliver drugs to the lungs for painless, needle-free vaccinations. While ...
