In this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast, we explore how computational physics is being used to develop new quantum materials; and we look at how ultrasound can help detect breast cancer.

Ultrasound close ultrasoundSound with a frequency greater than 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). waves have a frequency higher than the upper limit for human hearing – above 20,000 Hertz (Hz). Different ...

Ultrasound can be used in industry to detect defects in metals. Materials can be tested for internal faults and cracks that could lead to the failure of a structure under certain conditions ...

A new review article unveils the world of flexible micromachined ultrasound transducers (MUTs), an emerging technology at the intersection of wearables, ultrasound, and MEMS. These cutting-edge ...

This jet mechanism does not destroy the bubble, meaning that a new microjet can form with each ultrasound cycle. Physics in the service of medicine "An intriguing aspect is that this ejection ...
