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 ...

A team of physicists has developed a method to detect gravity waves with such low frequencies that they could unlock the secrets behind the early phases of mergers between supermassive black holes, ...

A metamaterial is a composite material that exhibits unique properties due to its structure, and now researchers have used one featuring a small sawtooth pattern on its surface to move and position ...

Ocean waves are one of the most abundant and predictable renewable energy sources on the planet, yet efficiently harnessing their power remains a major challenge. Traditional devices typically operate ...

A hexagon-shaped plastic structure was used to generate waves that merged to form complex patterns on the water surface in a tank for an experiment co-led by Nanyang Technological University, ...

NEW YORKNEW YORK — Scientists have observed for the first time the faint ripples caused by the motion of black holes that are gently stretching and squeezing everything in the universe. They reported ...

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Think of the fabric of the universe like a blob of really firm of Jell-O. If something hits Jell-O, it's going to jiggle, and if something big enough meets space-time, the so-called ...

Putting the squeeze on light improves gravitational wave observatories. An upgrade to one such observatory, LIGO, that comes from exploiting a quantum rule known as the Heisenberg uncertainty ...
