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

Patients suffering from depression, anxiety and trauma-related disorders experienced significant relief from their symptoms after a new treatment that uses sound waves to modulate deep brain activity, ...

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 ...

Cells are sensitive to many forms of stimuli including light and heat, but little is known about the cellular response to acoustic pressure—a.k.a. sound. A new study suggests that cells can indeed ...

In a new study, Japanese researchers found that acoustic sound waves can influence how our cells behave -- including halting fat development.
