Abstract: A globally constant sound speed of 1540 m/s is often assumed when beamforming ultrasound images, despite variations in tissue properties that lead to heterogeneous sound speeds. As a result, ...

RMIT University researchers have developed a new way to coat fragile surfaces, including living plant leaves, using ...

The grid-pattern “square waves” that appear in viral social media posts each summer are ...

The way waves propagate through liquids (Kelvin wave patterns) and solids (Rayleigh waves) were thought to be two distinct ...

Uncover 25 alarming patterns in nature that signal disaster. From strange animal behavior to silent forests, learn how to ...

Researchers have found that a swirling water vortex can force opposing waves to form rotating lines of stillness across an entire tank. That result turns a famously hard-to-see quantum effect into ...

In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect, where electrons are affected by a magnetic ...

In physics, a mechanical kink marks the point of transition between different internal states of a material. Researchers have now succeeded in creating a model in which they were able to move the kink ...

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KGO) -- The San Bernardino County Fire Department is testing a new firefighting system that uses sound waves instead of water to extinguish flames. It may sound like something ...

Today on CNN10: We'll get an update on the ongoing partial federal government shutdown, and see how its impacting employees across the Department of Homeland Security. Then, we'll head to Cuba for an ...

Water has long been the go-to when it comes to fighting a fire. But what about sound waves? It might be hard to wrap your head around the concept at first, but the San Bernardino County Fire ...
