Thousands of marine species from microscopic zooplankton to the largest cetaceans rely on sound for survival and many have ...

Scientists have unlocked a previously unseen behavior of acoustic waves, opening up new possibilities for cutting-edge ...

Yale physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of "modes" within the human ear that put important ...

Yale researchers discovered new cochlear hearing modes that influence how the ear amplifies sound and processes frequencies.

Mechanical crystals, also known as phononic crystals, are materials that can control the propagation of vibrations or sound waves, just like photonic crystals control the flow of light.

Yale physicists uncover a new set of hearing modes in the human ear, revealing complex cochlear mechanics that enhance sound ...

Recording audio in an electronic or mechanical format of continuous vibrations that are analogous to the original sound waves. Before audio recording became digital, sounds were "carved" into ...
