Wearable tech is moving into a new era — and it's not powered by electronics. Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a T-shirt that can measure breathing and gloves that can translate hand movements ...

In context: Sound waves typically propagate in forward and backward directions. This natural movement is problematic in some situations where unwanted reflections cause interference or reduced ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., second only to heart disease. But a new cancer treatment method from CU Boulder researchers uses sound waves to soften tumors and could be a ...

Detecting cancer can be difficult. Sometimes, the diagnosis comes too late to be life-saving. But now, scientists at Carnegie Mellon University and Penn State University say they’ve developed a system ...

Researchers have now created a new type of glass using nothing but sound waves and salt. Sure, that might sound like one heck of a science experiment—and in a way, it is—but it's also a major ...

Optical neural networks may provide the high-speed and large-capacity solution necessary to tackle challenging computing tasks. However, tapping their full potential will require further advances. One ...
