The San Bernardino County Fire Department tested new technology on Monday designed to help suppress fires by using sound waves.

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.

Physicists at New York University in the US have built a new kind of ...

Engineers have long searched for cleaner ways to fight fires without relying on water or chemicals. In 2015, two George Mason University students, Viet Tran and Seth Robertson, developed a portable ...

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 ...

Optical neural networks may provide the high-speed and large-capacity solution necessary to tackle challenging computing tasks. However, tapping their full potential will require further advances. One ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered a way to control material behavior using sound. In a study ...
