Researchers at ETH Zurich have managed to make sound waves travel only in one direction. In the future, this method could also be used in technical applications with electromagnetic waves. Water, ...

A magnet-and-coil system reveals how acoustic waves reflect and refract when the host medium suddenly changes elasticity. Repelling ring magnets serve as a chain of discrete masses and springs. The ...

The word "sine" was born from a mistranslationHave you ever drawn the graph of $${y = \sin x}$$ in math class?It is a curve ...

Researchers have pioneered the use of parallel computing on graphics cards to simulate acoustic turbulence. This type of simulation, which previously required a supercomputer, can now be performed on ...

The top layer represents the location of the sound source and the path of sound propagation (A). The bottom layers represent convergence zones with different sound propagation paths (B-F). Sound waves ...
