It catches very low frequency radio waves made by lightning, solar storms and charged particles moving through Earth’s ...

Researchers have now created a new type of glass using nothing but sound waves and salt. Sure, that might sound like one heck of a science experiment—and in a way, it is—but it's also a major ...

An international team of scientists has developed a new analysis of how sound waves behave, revealing surprising effects that have largely been overlooked for decades. In the new paper in Scientific ...

Earthquakes create ripple effects in Earth's upper atmosphere that can disrupt satellite communications and navigation systems we rely on. Scientists have now used Japan's extensive network of Global ...

Researchers have pioneered the use of parallel computing on graphics cards to simulate acoustic turbulence. This type of simulation, which previously required a supercomputer, can now be performed on ...

When a bright fireball streaked across the Alaska sky last spring, the usual tools scientists rely on to track such ...

Researchers captured sound fields around musical triangles. They wanted to understand the physical properties of the triangle instrument, test assumptions about the contribution of the triangle shape, ...

AS CHILDREN everywhere are delighted to learn in science class, sound can shatter glass. Might it also be possible, then, to use acoustic waves to disrupt the electromechanical sensors that drones ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Thunder is created by the acoustic shock wave from the extreme heat of a lightning flash. Lightning can reach temperatures of 54,000°F (30,000°C)—five times hotter than the ...
