Researchers on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, recently discovered the oldest known recordings of whale sounds and believe the discovery could help scientists understand how the animals communicate.

A new University of Mississippi study shows that some sound waves don't just move forward—they also move slightly to the side. Understanding this movement could help researchers develop more precise ...

Here you will find links to the BBC's best science, technology, engineering and maths resources for primary and secondary ...

I explain how certain sound waves could potentially harm humans under specific conditions. A headache is already emerging for Kevin Warsh at the Fed: Some members aren’t just resisting a rate cut, ...

Scotch tape has been a household mainstay for nearly a century, but it still holds some scientific surprises. Researchers have discovered that the screeching sound emitted when one rapidly peels ...

New technology enables us to perceive sounds beyond human hearing range, allowing a new perspective on our place on the planet.

Animals are noisy. And their noises can travel a long way. But making sounds can be a double-edged sword: it can help them communicate, sometimes over long distances, but it can also reveal them to ...

Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster's black hole and M87's jet have been turned into sound by SYSTEM Sounds. The Chandra team explains how it was done. Why do dogs put ...

Most of us walk around every day thinking we know exactly how our own skin and bones operate, but the reality is that the human body is a collection of high-tech systems that would make a sci-fi ...

Researchers designed a novel heat pump that uses sound waves to move thermal energy, producing additional heat. The team from China produced an unprecedented amount of heat with their system, and ...

A robot named Adam was the first of its kind to do science. Adam mimicked a biologist. After coming up with questions to ask about yeast, the machine tested those questions inside a robotic laboratory ...

Hypersonic flight could one day make long-haul travel as quick as a short movie. Researchers are testing how turbulence behaves at extreme speeds, a critical hurdle for designing these aircraft. Their ...
