Can you imagine sound travels in the same way as light does? A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely ...

A novel way to detect hidden turbulence in the Sun’s outer atmosphere or corona could help scientists gain new insights into the long-standing mystery of why the corona is much hotter than the ...

An international team of scientists has developed a new analysis of how sound waves behave, revealing surprising effects that ...

In a new Nature Physics paper, researchers report the first experimental observation of the transverse Thomson effect, a key thermoelectric phenomenon that has eluded scientists since it was predicted ...

If you throw a pebble into a pond, ripples spread out from where it went in. These ripples are waves travelling through the water. Like ocean waves, these ripples are transverse waves because the ...
