A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Can you imagine sound travels in the same way as light does? A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely ...

Ascending scale: sound waves rise as they travel through media. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Appler) A new theoretical study has revealed how sound waves transfer small amounts of mass as they travel.
