Question submitted by Zachary Gramke’s fourth-grade class at Two Mile Prairie Elementary School. Both light and sound are waves; light is an electromagnetic wave, and sound is a mechanical wave. When ...
Sound waves, also known as mechanical waves, are vibrations created by objects that make noise. When something vibrates, such as a guitar string or the air when you speak, sound waves are produced and ...
Chen Shen, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Rowan University, uses acoustic science to spin and manipulate sound waves for micro applications including miniature robotics and new ...

On the Impulses of Compound Sound Waves and their Mechanical Transmission through the Ear
It’s a question I’m sure was keeping you up at night: can you make an object spin with a sound wave? The answer, generally speaking, used to be no. Now, though, mechanical engineers have taken a look ...
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - The universe is full of waves, and they are not all created equally. Some are mechanical, and others are electromagnetic, even though they are all energy! Not all waves are created ...

Twisting sound: Scientists discover a new way to control mechanical vibrations in metamaterial
Acoustics is the branch of science that studies the propagation of sound and vibrational waves. Audible acoustic waves are ubiquitous in our everyday experience: they form the basis of verbal human ...
