Singing sands, a centuries-old mystery, are explained by physics as dry dunes emit audible sounds when grains slide. Uniformly sized grains create synchronized vibrations, producing sustained musical ...

Recreating a piece of the universe in a bottle might sound like science fiction, but it’s exactly what Linda Losurdo did.

A strange form of matter called a time crystal has fascinated physicists for about a decade. These systems move in repeating cycles, even without a steady external push.

Time crystals, a collection of particles that "tick"—or move back and forth in repeating cycles—were first theorized and then ...

NYU physics researchers have observed a new type of time crystal—one whose particles levitate on a cushion of sound while interacting with each other by exchanging sound waves. Above, a bead (purple) ...

Olympic ice is engineered to balance grip and glide. Here’s how physics, chemistry, and meticulous ice making shape the ...

As the F-18 Hornet flies past, it produces a distinct and eerie “blue note” sound unlike any other jet. The effect comes from shock waves interacting with the aircraft’s twin engines during high-speed ...

Helium is inert, which makes it useful in a lot of different industries. But helium’s colorless and odorless non-reactivity ...

KÁRYYN announces her new 10-track album PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL), out 29 May via Mute. She has also shared the striking first single, ‘COLLAPSE PHASE’, with an official video directed by ...

Artificial intelligence is changing how we predict river flow—but a new study led by researchers at the University of British Columbia shows that these models often get the right answers for the wrong ...

In a development that's striking a chord with inclusivity in education, the University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College research team is hitting high notes with its novel "sound bulb" technology, ...
