KYOTO, Japan — Your body is having conversations you can’t hear. At the cellular level, sound waves are creating physical reactions that could transform weight management. Japanese researchers have ...

Sound waves travel through different types of matter, including liquid water. Importantly, the movement of ocean water can greatly affect how sound waves travel from one point to another.

My research group has just published a paper demonstrating how underwater sound waves can be used to make surface waves more powerful, potentially making them a more viable source of energy.
