New experiments demonstrate how to detect hidden objects like submarines or buried treasure using the power of acoustical physics.

PUGET SOUND, Wash. — There have been numerous sightings of an unidentified floating object in the Puget Sound area. It turns out that buoy, also known as Ocean-2, aims at creating clean and cheap ...

Over the past several decades, scientists have developed optical and acoustic tweezers. Using light or sound waves, they can lift and control the motion of a small object, like a tiny tractor beam.

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have detected the “sound” of a black hole being kicked through space, captured through the analysis of gravitational waves from the 2019 event GW190412. This ...

No smoke, no mirrors, just sound was all scientists needed to levitate objects in midair. NPR reports that researchers at the University of Tokyo have discovered a new levitation technique through ...

Scientists have created a new technology to assemble matter in 3D. Their concept uses multiple acoustic holograms to generate pressure fields with which solid particles, gel beads and even biological ...

Students [Berk Gokmen] and [Justin Green] developed an RP2040-based LED-illuminated lightsaber as a final project with a bit of a twist. It has two unusual sound-reactive modes: disco mode, and vowel ...

From Egyptian pyramids to French castles, these tourist sites are turning to drones, lasers, and other tech to create immersive night experiences. The facade of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame at Reims is ...
