Realistic sound rendering can directly impact the perceived realism of users of interactive media applications. An accurate acoustic response for a virtual environment is attuned according to the ...

Experimentally verified thermodynamic model reduces relative uncertainty of previous model by over one order of magnitude.

Metamaterials researchers have created a thin plastic structure with geometric details allowing it to control the redirection and reflection of sound waves with almost perfect efficiency.

IN the last number of NATURE a report is given of the first of Dr. Tyndall's Christmas “Lectures to Juveniles,” on the Motion and Sensation of Sound. In that lecture Dr. Tyndall shows how the ...

In the guest blog, physicist Andrea Navarro-Quezada shows the importance of sound waves for our everyday life and research. Almost all of us know the concept of a wave. It is a periodic motion or ...
