This new high-tech system puts out fires using sound waves. The revolutionary technology could help protect homes in high ...

A wildfire burns in the hills of a Los Angeles suburb, leaping from one patch of dry brush to another as it approaches a cluster of homes. The landscaping at the first house burns, but the house ...

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.

Wearable tech is moving into a new era — and it's not powered by electronics. Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a T-shirt that can measure breathing and gloves that can translate hand movements ...

In context: Sound waves typically propagate in forward and backward directions. This natural movement is problematic in some situations where unwanted reflections cause interference or reduced ...

It’s possible to defy gravity using sound waves, magnets or electricity, but today’s methods can’t hoist heavy items high in ...

Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., second only to heart disease. But a new cancer treatment method ...

Detecting cancer can be difficult. Sometimes, the diagnosis comes too late to be life-saving. But now, scientists at Carnegie Mellon University and Penn State University say they’ve developed a system ...

The power of sound reaches far beyond your ears. While you're used to hearing sound through music, voices, or noise, your body is also quietly listening—at the cellular level. Recent research shows ...
