A pair of proteins that precisely control when sound-detecting cells, known as hair cells are born in the mammalian inner ear have been discovered by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers. The proteins, ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technique for detecting and controlling ultrahigh frequency sound waves at the nanometer scale. This represents an advance towards next generation ultrasonic imaging ...

Traditional sound sources and sound detectors are usually independent and discrete in the human hearing range. To minimize the device size and integrate it with wearable electronics, there is an ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at ARCNL have found a way to detect nanostructures buried under many layers of opaque material, using very high frequency sound waves induced by light. Their findings are ...

Close your eyes and acutely listen to the sounds around you, and you'll find you're able not only to accurately place the location of sounds in space, but their motion. Imagine then that, strangely, ...

Researchers at Nanjing University have developed a novel helium-detecting device, drawing inspiration from the traditional ...

Listener and big-rig truck driver David Huiner says he relies on the sound of his air brakes to let him know that his truck is operating safely.... Detecting Safety in the Sound of Air Brakes MICHELE ...

Using genetic tools in mice, researchers say they have identified a pair of proteins that precisely control when sound-detecting cells, known as hair cells, are born in the mammalian inner ear. The ...
