Futuristic control of structure in some materials is being made possible by a physics loophole.

Water has long been the go-to when it comes to fighting a fire. But what about sound waves? It might be hard to wrap your ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., second only to heart disease. But a new cancer treatment method from CU Boulder researchers uses sound waves to soften tumors and could be a ...

Using sound to stimulate certain brain waves has the potential to help those with dementia or cognitive decline sleep better, reveals a new study. Sleep disturbances are a common feature in dementia ...

The manner in which we charge our phones has mostly stayed the same. But as one team of scientists found nearly 12 years ago, there may be other options available to deliver the power needed to keep ...

Exotic states of matter known as time crystals are largely considered a quantum phenomenon. Now, a team from New York University (NYU) has shown that a classical time crystal can emerge in a far ...
