By combining ultrasound with a concept called nonlinear acoustics, you can create sound that stays silent until it reaches a ...

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.

The practice of examining pregnant women using ultrasound is called obstetric sonography, and is widely used. In physics, 'ultrasound' refers to sound waves with a frequency too high for humans to ...

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 ...

Other areas of interest in Medical Physics include the measurement of ionising radiation, magnetic resonance imaging, and the application of lasers, ultrasound, and other technologies which utilise ...

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 ...

GE HealthCare aims to unlock automated solutions that enhance efficiency, easing the burden of increased volumes and staff shortages on healthcare professionals.
