New research digs into how sound waves trigger immune responses to cancer in mice. By breaking down the cell wall “cloak,” the treatment exposes cancer cell markers that had previously been hidden ...

Chemists have synthesized novel benzopyranoquinoline compounds in water in just fifteen minutes using ultrasound and a ...

Researchers have pioneered the use of parallel computing on graphics cards to simulate acoustic turbulence. This type of simulation, which previously required a supercomputer, can now be performed on ...

A magnet-and-coil system reveals how acoustic waves reflect and refract when the host medium suddenly changes elasticity. Repelling ring magnets serve as a chain of discrete masses and springs. The ...

Engineers at UConn’s College of Engineering are unlocking new frontiers in wave control and energy localization Osama Bilal, director of the Wave Engineering Laboratory for Extreme and Intelligent ...
