Chen Shen, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Rowan University, uses acoustic science to spin and manipulate sound waves for micro applications including miniature robotics and new ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In a new study, Japanese researchers found that acoustic sound waves can influence how our cells behave -- including halting fat ...

Yushun Zeng squishes cancer cells in a petri dish at work. No, not with his ungainly, macroscopic human fingers. Zeng, an engineering graduate student at the University of Southern California, has ...

Acoustics experts have created a new class of sound wave -- the first in more than half a century -- in a breakthrough they hope could lead to a revolution in stem cell therapy. Acoustics experts have ...

A team of researchers has for the first time successfully used lasers to generate guided sound waves on the surface of a microchip. These acoustic waves, akin to the surface waves produced during an ...

Gik Acoustics makes acoustic panels that don’t look like weird hunks of insulation. Its SoundBlocks system that I tried out ...

Call to your mind an image of your doctor. Go ahead. I'll wait. Got it? I'm willing to bet that, whether your doctor is young or old, man or woman, you imagined a person wearing a white lab coat and a ...

On the ground, humanity relies pretty much entirely on GPS satellites to get real-time directions from point A to point B. But underwater, even the U.S. military can’t access GPS signals to navigate a ...

Forget fad diets and sketchy supplements, your favorite song might be the key to staying thin. In a new study, Japanese researchers found that acoustic sound waves can influence how our cells behave — ...
