Thousands of marine species from microscopic zooplankton to the largest cetaceans rely on sound for survival and many have evolved unique oral and aural adaptations. Understanding them better could ...

"Surprisingly, sound waves and ocean waves have a lot in common: for example, the breaking of large-amplitude ocean waves is similar to the formation of an acoustic shock wave. Wave breaking ...

Sound waves oscillate at rates that determine their ... who is now at the Technical University of Denmark. For example, a computational model tasked with identifying the higher pitch in a pair ...

We now know that rising sea temperatures will affect sonar performance, sometimes greatly affecting submarines’ ability to find ships and other submarines, and ships’ ability to find them. This leaves ...

So-called Rayleigh–Bloch waves can release an enormous amount of energy that can damage technical systems under certain circumstances. They only exist below a precisely defined cut-off frequency; ...

Chorus waves last only a few tenths of a second and have a characteristic rising frequency 2, which gives them their chirping sound ... researchers (see, for example, ref. 4).

Alexander Fleming’s moldy petri dish led him to discover penicillin; Isaac Newton’s observation of an apple falling from a tree led him to write the laws of motion and the universal law of gravitation ...

Cities worldwide embrace silence, integrating soundproofing and green spaces to reduce noise and enhance well-being.

For example, hearing a loud concert or fireworks ... it’s the force of the sound waves on the delicate structures in your ear. When sound waves enter the ear, they can do so with a strong ...

which is the amount of energy that waves lose when they travel through the Earth. In order to do so, we did not only investigate how much the tones where out of tune, we also studied their sound ...

In some areas, heat waves can cause oxygen levels to deplete, resulting in dead zones that are unable to support life. Warming also impacts ocean flora and fauna in other ways. For example ...
