MIT physicists captured images that revealed the behavior of heat as waves for the first time in rare states of matter, like ...

P hysicists at MIT have achieved a major feat, capturing a bizarre quantum effect called second sound on film, where heat ...

More than 300 parents, kids and volunteers participated in "The Physics of Sound: Waves, Vibrations and Music" STEM Saturday on Jan. 27 at the Pete Sanchez Multi-Center in New Orleans. Organized by ...

In space, no one can hear you scream. You may have heard this saying. It’s the tagline from the famous 1979 science fiction movie “Alien.” It’s a scary thought, but is it true? The simple answer is ...

Scientists at MIT have directly captured signs of “second sound” in a superfluid for the first time. This bizarre phenomenon occurs when heat moves like sound waves through an unusual state of matter.

The night sky of Aspen is a wonderland for stargazers, dark and transparent enough for the naked eye to discern ...

PORT TOWNSEND — A principal electrical engineer of the University of Washington’s applied physics lab will give a lecture intended to conjure awareness of the reality of underwater sound this weekend.

Optical illusions tend to get the lion's share when we talk about things that make us question reality, but acoustic anomalies can be equally trippy especially if they were not designed with the ...

Although few people ever get the chance to travel at the speed of sound, it is an alluring flight goal and an impressive technological feat. Though average people have flown at high speeds on ...

As an acoustical engineer, you'll be concerned with the management and application of sound-producing vibrations in real-world situations. Many acoustical engineers work with architects to help design ...

Researchers carefully studied bubbles that form when water droplets come into contact with heated cooking oil and found that the type and number of bubbles formed depends on the amount of water ...
