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 have found that a swirling water vortex can force opposing waves to form rotating lines of stillness across an ...
MIT engineers reveal plant seeds can "hear" the sound of rain, which awakens them from a dormant state and prompts them to ...
Physicists in Leiden have recreated Thomas Young’s iconic double-slit experiment using gigahertz sound waves on gallium arsenide, revealing both parallels and differences with light. The study found ...
The film explores the nature of sound waves, demonstrating how sound travels as a wave through air, which acts as a medium. It illustrates sound generation using a loudspeaker, examines oscillation, ...
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 ...
The acoustic properties of an ultracold fermion gas have been measured either side of the superfluid transition temperature in an experiment that has been described as “near perfect” and “beautiful”.
