The top layer represents the location of the sound source and the path of sound propagation (A). The bottom layers represent convergence zones with different sound propagation paths (B-F). Sound waves ...

While the concept of time travel has long captured public imagination, modern physics actually approaches time in a much more subtle manner. Instead of moving people or objects through history, ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

In the moments before the Big Bang, our universe was a hot, dense, and extremely high-energy place. That all changed when the universe exploded 13.8 billion years ago. Rapid inflation divided a single ...

Earthquakes create ripple effects in Earth's upper atmosphere that can disrupt satellite communications and navigation systems we rely on. Nagoya University scientists and their collaborators have ...
