New experiments put phonons — the tiniest bits of sound — into quantum mechanical superpositions and show they are as weird as other quantum entities.

But let us not confuse these sounds with the traditional sound waves we have on Earth. They can’t travel in the vacuum of space like they do on Earth; the cosmos is full of vibrations, radio ...

Sound waves travel through interactions between atoms, which limits their speed The universal speed limit of any kind of wave – be it electromagnetic or gravitational – travelling through a ...

Now, scientists at Harvard have demonstrated a new kind of chip that transmits data in the form of sound waves. Computer chips and circuits send and process data by modulating a particular medium.

Private listening out in the open is possible thanks to acoustic metasurfaces that precisely bend and direct sound waves.
