This new high-tech system puts out fires using sound waves. The revolutionary technology could help protect homes in high ...

Wearable tech is moving into a new era — and it's not powered by electronics. Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a T-shirt that can measure breathing and gloves that can translate hand movements ...

Helium leaks are hard to detect, since it is odorless, colorless, tasteless, and does not react with other chemical substances. In Applied Physics Letters, by AIP Publishing, researchers from Nanjing ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Optical neural networks may provide the high-speed and large-capacity solution necessary to tackle challenging computing tasks. However, tapping their full potential will require further advances. One ...

Using a newly devised technology, scientists can move small objects without touching them, meaning we're one step closer to Jedi being real.

On a June afternoon, the scent of coffee and sea air mingled below deck aboard the Go Adventurer, a medium-sized ship tasked with carrying scientists and survey equipment to map a slice of the ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., second only to heart disease. But a new cancer treatment method from CU Boulder researchers uses sound waves to soften tumors and could be a ...
