Metamaterials researchers have created a thin plastic structure with geometric details allowing it to control the redirection and reflection of sound waves with almost perfect efficiency.

Sound is the vibrations of an object. It is transmitted in the form of waves with alternate increase and decrease in pressure. A vibrating object compresses the surrounding air molecules making them ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have theorized that a special kind of reflection known as time reflections have existed in the realm of quantum mechanics. However, proving the existence of this ...

Masego was made for this. His name, meaning blessing in Tswana, feels prophetic: a reflection of how his music uplifts, connects, and transforms any space it fills. Step into his world, and you’re not ...

Waves close wavesVibrations that transfer energy from place to place without the transference of matter. - including sound and light - can be reflected at the boundary between two different materials.

Realistic sound rendering can directly impact the perceived realism of users of interactive media applications. An accurate acoustic response for a virtual environment is attuned according to the ...

IN GREEK mythology, Echo was a mountain nymph who lost her voice and was condemned to repeat only the words of others. Now science is poised to silence the sprite completely. A group of physicists, ...
