Scientists from the University of Tsukuba obtained a new theoretical equation for the propagation of ultrasonic waves through liquids containing encapsulated bubbles. They found that including the ...

An emerging technique harnessing ultrasound may revolutionize treatment of fatal or hard-to-cure conditions, from cancer to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Prior to focused ultrasound treatment, ...

MIT researchers have found a way to use the mechanical vibrations of sound waves to shake water molecules free from a storage medium. The breakthrough significantly speeds up the process of harvesting ...

Haptic feedback can give games and other virtual experiences an extra dimension, but it’s hard to achieve. Tech startup Emerge is now having a crack at the idea with the Emerge Wave-1, a device that ...

Ultrasonic wave propagation in dispersed media encompasses the study of how high-frequency acoustic waves interact with heterogeneous systems such as particle suspensions, emulsions and porous ...

Histotripsy is a new, FDA-approved, minimally invasive technique that destroys liver tumors using high-frequency ultrasound waves. For some patients with liver cancer, they could be spared invasive ...

One in four people has a mental disorder, according to the World Health Organization. If you're lucky enough to live in a wealthy country, treatment will usually involve some form of medication—which ...

Both ultrasound for medical imaging and seismology for imaging the Earth's interior measure the propagation of waves through matter. For example, when seismic waves encounter material differences in ...

Implantable medical devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators use electrical pulses to regulate the heart. Despite technological advances in leads or electrodes, these devices still use batteries, ...

A new study provides the first visual evidence showing that brain circuits in living animals can be activated by ultrasound waves projected into specific patterns (holograms). Led by scientists at NYU ...

Value-added inspection performed by qualified in-house personnel helps customers verify forging integrity, and ...
