Bengaluru: Indian Institute of Science (IISc) researchers have developed a non-invasive technique to measure blood glucose levels using polarised light and sound waves, offering hope for people with ...

In new research that will have implications for the development of computers, scientists have successfully stored light-based information in the form of sound waves. These sound recordings have been ...

A study published last month by University of Minnesota mechanical engineering researchers has the potential to make waves – ultrasonic waves, to be exact – in fields like surgery and manufacturing. U ...

A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both rotation and orbital angular momentum ...

WELL, BACK HERE, MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE LEARNING TO BEND LIGHT AND SOUND WAVES. IT’S NOT JUST FOR SUPERHEROES. EIGHTH GRADERS AT BEEDLE MIDDLE SCHOOL EXPLORED THE LUMINARIUM TODAY. THEY DISCOVERED ...

A team of scientists has succeeded in cooling traveling sound waves in wave-guides considerably further than has previously been possible using laser light. This achievement represents a significant ...
