Determining the "loudest recorded sound" depends on how you define sound and on which measurements you choose to include.

Scientists at the University of Glasgow have confirmed a half-century-old theory that claimed a super-advanced alien civilization could use a black hole as an energy source. By using sound waves, the ...

It all started with chicken noodle soup. After the blessing, I noticed my soup was vibrating with a regular frequency. I suppose quivering soup is not too unusual, although I could find no previous ...

On the rise. Signs of convection are seen in the motion of hot gas under the influence of a gravity-like acoustic force in a spherical glass container. The images were recorded 15, 40, and 140 ...

For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Mechanical engineers have demonstrated a set of prototypes for manipulating particles and cells in a Petri dish using sound waves. The devices, known in the scientific community as 'acoustic tweezers, ...

The acoustic properties of an ultracold fermion gas have been measured either side of the superfluid transition temperature in an experiment that has been described as “near perfect” and “beautiful”.

In a breakthrough that challenges conventional physics, scientists have confirmed the existence of “second sound” — a phenomenon where heat travels as a wave rather than dispersing slowly, as it does ...
