Caltech scientists have created a hybrid quantum memory that converts electrical information into sound, allowing quantum states to last 30 times longer than in standard superconducting systems. Their ...

Photonic computation with sound waves Date: April 20, 2024 Source: Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light Summary: Optical neural networks may provide the high-speed and large-capacity ...

Stylolites—irregular seams that occur in limestone—have been found to affect how acoustic waves move through rock samples.

However, during an inversion, when air temperatures increase with altitude instead of decreasing, sound waves can be deflected toward the ground, amplifying the thunder. This phenomenon is more common ...

Sound is carried by atoms and molecules. In space, with no atoms or molecules to carry a sound wave, there’s no sound.
