Scientists in Japan have developed a novel therapy that could soon have motion sickness sufferers singing a different tune.

If you hold up a seashell to your ear and listen, you may hear what sounds like rolling waves and wind. But it’s not actually ...

A new study shows that sound isn’t just heard by the ears. Sound waves altered gene expression and influenced fat cell differentiation in culture.

That’s the conclusion of a striking new study from Kyoto University. Researchers found that simple sound waves — nothing more ...

Sound waves are variations in air pressure. Our ears are so finely tuned to amplifying them over a certain range of frequencies, that we can sense pressure changes through them that are ...

A fresh study shows that sound waves can flip on genes, tweak how cells behave, and even put the brakes on fat production ...

“In space no one can hear you scream.” If space were truly empty—an utter vacuum, devoid of any matter—then yes, the Alien ...

When this happens, not only do your brain and ears perceive it, but your cells may also. Technically speaking, sound is a simple phenomenon, consisting of compressional mechanical waves ...

In their study, Japanese scientists developed a special setup with a sound-to-vibration sensor and a diaphragm connected to it, and installed a bowl w ...

Empty bottles vibrate faster because there's less mass to move. When something vibrates, it pushes and pulls on nearby air molecules, creating areas of high and low pressure. These pressure changes ...
