Acoustics News Stories
Current Acoustics News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Electrical engineers go head to head with Genius on music playlists
Electrical engineers recently pitted Genius - the music recommendation system in Apple's iTunes - against two experimental music recommender systems. (2009-10-28)
Berkeley researchers create first hyperlens for sound waves
Ultrasound and underwater sonar devices could "see" a big improvement thanks to development of the world's first acoustic hyperlens. Created by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), the acoustic hyperlens provides an eightfold boost in the magnification power of sound-based imaging technologies. (2009-10-26)
Physicists seek to keep next-gen colliders in 1 piece
Controlling huge electromagnetic forces that have the potential to destroy the next generation of particle accelerators is the subject of a new paper by a University of Manchester physicist. (2009-10-06)
Lasers Generate Underwater Sound
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory are developing a new technology for use in underwater acoustics. The new technology uses flashes of laser light to remotely create underwater sound. (2009-09-08)
1930s home goes green
A 1930s house built in 2008 is about to undergo the first of three energy efficiency upgrades which will ultimately convert an energy inefficient house into a zero carbon home designed to meet the Government's 2016 CO2 targets for all new housing. (2009-08-05)
A sonic boom in the world of lasers
It was an idea born out of curiosity in the physics lab, but now a new type of 'laser' for generating ultra-high frequency sound waves instead of light has taken a major step towards becoming a unique and highly useful 21st century technology. (2009-06-18)
Thieving whale caught on video gives rare clues about hunting strategy, sound production
For decades scientists have been intrigued by the variety of sounds emitted by sperm whales, partly due to a popular theory that suggests that the sounds might contain information about the animals' size. (2009-05-22)
Implementing sustainable technology to monitor the integrity of the nation's bridges
Today, humans perform visual inspections every two years of most of the nation's older bridges. But with a scarcity of inspectors and tens of thousands of bridges, that process can be long and laborious. (2009-04-17)
Study Compares Sound from Exploding Volcanoes with Jet Engines
New research on infrasound from volcanic eruptions shows an unexpected connection with jet engines. (2009-04-09)
Study sheds new light on dolphin coordination during predation
Spinner dolphins have long been known for their teamwork in capturing prey but a new study using high-tech acoustics has found that their synchronization is even more complex than scientists realized and likely evolved as a strategy to maximize their energy intake. (2008-10-21)
