By adapting cosmic black holes physics, acoustic engineers have created a device that swallows sound inside pipes to ...

Physics is supposed to be predictable. Drop a ball, and gravity pulls it down. Heat water, and it boils. Light travels in straight lines. Yet throughout history, scientists have encountered ...

Yushun Zeng squishes cancer cells in a petri dish at work. No, not with his ungainly, macroscopic human fingers. Zeng, an engineering graduate student at the University of Southern California, has ...

A comprehensive review in Advanced Science unifies the physics of acoustic radiation forces and streaming to explain how ...

A recently discovered acoustic effect allows a hot gas to simulate the gravity-induced convection within a star or giant planet. On the rise. Signs of convection are seen in the motion of hot gas ...
