We are in sound overload, even when we are not consciously aware of it. Those with misophonia may be casualties of the overwhelming environment.

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Ever had an idea for something that looked cool, but wouldn't work well in practice? When it comes to designing things like ...

If you search for the highest IQ on record, you will likely encounter the number 228, attributed to columnist Marilyn vos Savant, or the number 230, attributed to mathematician Terence Tao. However, ...

So scientists found a workaround. Instead of building one gigantic telescope, they placed smaller telescopes far apart and ...

The “horizon” he points to isn’t a doorway to the divine, other scientists say. Yet, modern physics has been trying to answer questions once left to religion.

Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...

Physicists at NYU have discovered a new type of time crystal—an exotic state of matter whose particles rhythmically “tick” while levitating on sound waves.

Abstract: Modeling sounds emitted from physical object interactions is critical for immersive perceptual experiences in real and virtual worlds. Traditional methods of impact sound synthesis use ...

Helium is inert, which makes it useful in a lot of different industries. But helium’s colorless and odorless non-reactivity also means traditional gas sensing methods don’t work. Specialized detectors ...

The opening line of L.P. Hartley's seminal coming-of-age novel The Go-Between reads, "The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there." That sentiment resonates throughout writer and ...
