A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

NYU physicists accidentally found a way to make a time crystal using nothing but sound waves and tiny polystyrene beads. Time crystals are defined as particles that oscillate in a regular pattern with ...

A surprising new study shows that baby chickens react the same way that humans do when tested for something called the "bouba-kiki effect," which has been linked to the emergence of language.

A team of New York University researchers announced in early February 2026 that they had created “levitating” time crystals, tiny particles suspended by sound waves that appear to defy Newton’s third ...

Brisbane start-up Cortisonic has unveiled revolutionary sound wave computing technology that promises to slash AI energy consumption affecting entire nations. The revolutionary system promises to ...

Wellness destinations are catering to guests with live music, vibration treatments and special domes built to calm nerves and soothe frazzled spirits. By Nora Walsh Just when sweltering saunas and icy ...

Physically, sound is just pressure moving through a medium. If you harness that pressure correctly, you can actually push things around using nothing but sound. That's exactly what researchers at ...

PACIFIC PALISADES, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A new high-tech system puts out fires using sound waves. It may seem like magic but it's not - it's science. This revolutionary technology from Sonic Fire Tech ...

California-based Sonic Fire Tech has developed a new fire suppression system that uses sound waves to vibrate oxygen molecules, preventing them from readily mixing with fuel, disrupting combustion, ...

Forward-looking: When wildfires sweep through the dry hills outside Los Angeles, homes can be lost in moments. A California startup imagines a different outcome: as embers fall and nearby brush ...

Acoustic frequency filters help smartphones separate signals for mobile networks, Wi-Fi, and GPS. Researchers at RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau now say they have demonstrated a new physical effect that ...
