New research suggests that sound waves can influence cellular activity, including stopping the development of fat.

In their study, Japanese scientists developed a special setup with a sound-to-vibration sensor and a diaphragm connected to it, and installed a bowl w ...

Your body is having conversations you can't hear. At the cellular level, sound waves are creating physical reactions that ...

We can’t hear all levels of sounds. Sound waves with very high frequencies are called ultrasound and our ears can’t detect them. Ultrasound waves have multiple uses including: detecting ...

Only when they reach their destination are the sound waves picked up by human ears. "We essentially created a virtual headset," said lead author Jiaxin Zhong, an acoustics researcher at Penn ...

A new study shows that sound isn’t just heard by the ears. Sound waves altered gene expression and influenced fat cell ...

For example, when two ultrasound beams of slightly different frequencies overlap, such as 40 kHz and 39.5 kHz, a new sound wave is generated at the frequency difference of 0.5 kHz, or 500 Hz ...

P-waves can move faster through the ground than the air, but not all of this energy is in the range of human hearing. When the sound waves are in the audible frequency range, some people may hear ...

Additionally, it discusses how complex sound waves arise from multiple modes of vibration, exemplified by strings and organ pipes, and how the human vocal mechanism produces speech and song ...

This class focuses on the role of waves in human body systems through student-directed inquiry using modern medical technologies and explorations of the fundamental science behind sound waves and ...
