Based on the application of the exact solution for the plane wave diffraction by a rectangular hole, the transmission property of a rectangular aperture less than the half-wavelength is investigated ...

Scientists from CERN have measured the speed of sound in the quark-gluon plasmas with record precision, a key step to ...

In this paper, an accurate and efficient characterization of a two-dimensional (2-D) electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures is performed, which exploits a full-wave diffraction theory developed for ...

A new method for detecting DNA damage with sound waves has been developed. The research is reported in the latest edition of the Royal Society of Chemistry journal The Analyst. Dr Mike Thompson and a ...

A new tool that assesses the level of danger posed by tsunamis in real-time has been made operational on a global scale. The early warning system, Global Real-time Early Assessment of Tsunamis (GREAT) ...

In this study, sound waves were able to stop pre-fat cells from maturing into full fat cells. That could open new doors in obesity treatment or body fat management, all without drugs or surgery.

The power of sound reaches far beyond your ears. While you're used to hearing sound through music, voices, or noise, your body is also quietly listening—at the cellular level.

Iran has launched a new wave of missiles at Israel, with sirens sounding in several Israeli cities overnight. At least eight people were reported dead and 300 wounded in attacks on Haifa and Tel Aviv.

DNA from nine prehistoric skeletons, dated as far back as about 9,000 years ago, shows that early inhabitants near the southern Cape Province of South Africa experienced minimal population changes ...
