Drown out the noises that keep you up at night.

Physicists at NYU have discovered a new type of time crystal—an exotic state of matter whose particles rhythmically “tick” while levitating on sound waves.

A strange form of matter called a time crystal has fascinated physicists for about a decade. These systems move in repeating ...

The new pump has no moving parts. “Instead, it relies on thermoacoustics, the interaction between sound waves and heat, to move thermal energy,” Interesting Engineering writes. The pump uses that ...

Soil is one of our most precious resources. Ecoacoustics, or the study of environmental sounds, has been around for a century, but it has only recently been applied to understanding soils. This ...

Exotic states of matter known as time crystals are largely considered a quantum phenomenon. Now, a team from New York ...

This alternative therapy works by using specific, resonating frequencies that encourage the body to enter a restorative, ...

About midmorning on Sunday, as the temperature crept above freezing, the ice sheet on Boysen Reservoir started making sounds like something out of ...
