Scientists at MIT have directly captured signs of “second sound” in a superfluid for the first time. This bizarre phenomenon occurs when heat moves like sound waves through an unusual state of matter.

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.

A crucial building block for quantum computers based on sound has been shown to work for the first time. One popular way of building quantum computers is to encode information into quantum states of ...

One of the biggest problems facing speaker manufacturers is getting sufficient bass out of a less-than-sufficient space. Good, deep bass sound requires a lot of space to push sufficient amounts of air ...

You can’t divide the indivisible, unless you use quantum mechanics. Physicists have now turned to quantum effects to split phonons, the smallest bits of sound, researchers report in the June 9 Science ...

This free app lets you play around with smartphone sensors you probably didn't know existed.

Hey all! So all my life I have heard that sound is a type of wave. This seemed to make sense to me. Recently I have come across some information that has me second guessing such tradition knowledge.
