New sonofusion experiment produces results without external neutron source
A team of researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Purdue University, and the Russian Academy of Sciences has used sound waves to induce nuclear fusion without the need for an external neutron source. view more (2006-01-30)
Can you hear me now? How the inner ear's sensors are made
A UCLA study shows for the first time how microscopic crystals form sound and gravity sensors inside the inner ear. Located at the ends of cilia - tiny cellular hairs in the ear that move and transmit signals - these crystals play an important role in detecting sound, maintaining balance and regulating movement. view more (2008-12-02)
Spanish scientists develop echo-location in humans
A team of researchers from the University of Alcalá de Henares (UAH) has shown scientifically that human beings can develop echolocation, the system of acoustic signals used by dolphins and bats to explore their surroundings. view more (2009-07-01)
Fighting sound with sound, new modeling technique could quiet aircraft
Newly published research by a Princeton engineer suggests that understanding how air travels across the sunroof of a car may one day make jet engines less noisy. view more (2006-02-27)
UCLA scientists discover ultrasonic communication among frogs
UCLA scientists report for the first time on the only known frog species that can communicate using purely ultrasonic calls, whose frequencies are too high to be heard by humans. view more (2009-05-11)
Extreme Winds Rule Exoplanet's Weather
Supersonic winds more than six times faster than those on Jupiter are blasting through the atmosphere of a Jupiter-sized planet 60 light years away, say scientists who've analyzed results from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. view more (2007-05-10)
Children with autism have difficulty recognizing ordinary words
New research indicates that young children with autism have a difficult time recognizing ordinary words and more of their brains are occupied with this kind of task compared to typically developing youngsters. view more (2007-05-04)
Aberdeen Academic`s Voluntary Service Honoured by SCI
Dr Jennifer Mordue, reader at the Department of Zoology, University of Aberdeen, and Chair of SCI Scotland is to be awarded the 2001 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) Lampitt Medal. The presentation will take place at a dinner held in her honour at SCI International Headquarters, London, on Thursday 10 January 2002. The Lampitt Medal is awarded... view more... (2002-01-08)
Novel audio telescope heeds call of the wild ... birds
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Intelligent Automation, Inc. (Rockville, Md.) and the University of Missouri-Columbia have modified a NIST-designed microphone array to make an "audio telescope" that could help airports more efficiently avoid costly and hazardous bird-aircraft collisions by... view more...

Stanford researcher's discovery of ion channel turns ear on its head
Scientists thought they had a good model to explain how the inner ear translates vibrations in the air into sounds heard by the brain. Now, based on new research from the Stanford University School of Medicine, it looks like parts of the model are wrong. view more (2009-04-24)
Discovery of a water snake that startles fish in a way that makes them flee into its jaws
Forget the old folk tales about snakes hypnotizing their prey. The tentacled snake from South East Asia has developed a more effective technique. view more (2009-06-19)
Research at Rice may help explain aspects of synesthesia
A research team led by Rice University Psychology Professor Tony Ro has published its findings that may help to explain the phenomenon known as synesthesia, in which stimulation of one sensory pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory pathway. view more (2007-09-26)
New tool to assess speech development in infants, toddlers with hearing impairments
The number of hearing impaired infants and toddlers who are successfully aided by technological devices, such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, continues to grow, but there are still unknowns about these children's speaking abilities, according to a Purdue University expert. view more (2008-09-24)
Dyslexia varies across language barriers
Chinese-speaking children with dyslexia have a disorder that is distinctly different, and perhaps more complicated and severe, than that of English speakers. view more (2009-10-13)
The Green (and blue, red, and white) lights of the future
A revolution in energy-efficient, environmentally-sound, and powerfully-flexible lighting is coming to businesses and homes, according to a paper in latest special energy issue of Optics Express, the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal. view more (2008-12-17)
Mechanoluminescence event yields novel emissions, reactions
Researchers at the University of Illinois report that a new study of mechanoluminescence revealed extensive atomic and molecular spectral emission not previously seen in a mechanoluminescence event. view more (2007-05-09)
Noisy faucets
If loud plumbing fixtures get on the neighbour's nerves, the responsible plumber has to pay. Acoustic quality seals ought to help, but they are rarely found on cheap fixtures. Researchers tested the noise emission levels of bargain products. view more (2004-10-25)
Adding ultrasound screening to mammography brings benefits, risks
Adding a screening ultrasound examination to routine mammography reveals more breast cancers than mammography alone, according to results of a major new clinical trial. The trial, however, also found that adding an ultrasound exam also increases the rate of false positive findings and unnecessary biopsies. view more (2008-05-14)
Focusing ultrasound in the skull holds promise for brain tumour treatments
A new, reliable way of focusing ultrasound waves inside the human skull that could enable tumours deep inside the brain to be eradicated is described in a research paper published today in the Institute of Physics journal Physics in Medicine and Biology. view more (2002-04-02)
