Scientists have discovered what they believe is the loudest possible underwater sound -- a sound so powerful that it can vaporize water on contact.It's not the sound of a massive underwater earthquake ...

MIT researchers have found a way to use the mechanical vibrations of sound waves to shake water molecules free from a storage ...

Sound waves traveling thousands of kilometers through the ocean may help scientists monitor climate change. As greenhouse gas emissions warm the planet, the ocean is absorbing vast amounts of that ...

A team led by Gabriel Blaj, a staff scientist at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University, has generated what may be the loudest possible underwater sound. Using SLAC's Linac ...

Using a drop of water and a USB-powered speaker, International Space Station science officer Don Pettit explains the physics of sound in zero gravity. Using a drop of water and a USB-powered speaker, ...

Eric Mack has been a CNET contributor since 2011. Eric and his family live 100% energy and water independent on his off-grid compound in the New Mexico desert. Eric uses his passion for writing about ...

A tsunami’s immense wall of water may not be stoppable. But there may be a way to take the ferocious force of nature down a few notches, using a pair of counterwaves. If released at the right moment, ...

Perseverance rover was exploring the winds on a Martian crater when this sound got recorded in its SuperCam microphone.

What makes a memorable travel experience? The sights, yes, but the sounds of a place are just as powerful. This art ...

This experiment demonstrates how water affects sound waves and pitch. You'll discover how different water levels create different musical notes and learn about the relationship between mass, vibration ...

An engineered material can efficiently transmit sound between water and air. Water is much denser than air and transmits sound more quickly. This mismatch means that when sound travelling through ...
