US researchers at the University of Connecticut have developed a reconfigurable acoustic metamaterial capable of controlling ...

The creation pushes the boundaries of metamaterials – a new class of finely-engineered surfaces that perform nature-defying tasks. These materials have already shown remarkable results with light ...

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.

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

The idea of growing organs or tissues for medical use still sounds like science fiction — and indeed, it's an incredibly difficult thing to do. 3D-printing technology has shown some promise in the ...

LONDON — Music blasts can't quite lift you off your feet just yet, but making droplets levitate with sound may be the first step in that direction. A team of researchers demonstrated experimentally ...
