Alexander Sutin and a team of acoustics experts at Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey are developing a system that tracks the traffic by listening to the noise it produces. On Wednesday, Oc...
Information Technology |How does video game sound trigger panic attacks? Can beams of ultrasound energy prevent kidney stones? What is science telling us about the voices of teachers, the sound of bats, and the noises of a h...
Event News |Adding a new premium ultrasound platform to its Women’s Imaging line of products, Siemens Healthcare introduces the Acuson S2000 ultrasound system – Women’s Imaging at the 19th World Congress of Ultra...
Medical Engineering |The study also is the first to indicate that at least a few bird species opt for noisy areas over quiet ones, perhaps because of their vocalization pitches, a reduction in nest predators and less comp...
Life Sciences |But domestic dogs bark more than other animals for reasons related to their 10,000-year history of hanging around human food refuse dumps. Biologically speaking, many animals besides dogs bark...
Life Sciences |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’ s...
Studies and Analyses |New research on infrasound from volcanic eruptions shows an unexpected connection with jet engines. Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego speeded up the recorded sounds fr...
Earth Sciences |The similarity between volcanic sounds too low for people to hear and the audible rumble made by turbulent air in a jet's propulsion system suggests there are deeper characteristics in common bet...
Earth Sciences |Although members of the fish species Astyanax fasciatus cannot see, they sense their environment and the movement of water around them with gel-covered hairs that extend from their bodies. Their abili...
Physics and Astronomy |Using the offered technology, the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of photoacoustic imaging using pulsed laser diodes can be significantly improved compared to standard noise reduction methods. Thus, it p...
Technology Offerings |According to the Principal Investigator Dr Hung Wing-tat, Associate Professor of PolyU's Department of Civil and Structural Engineering. The study is made possible with the set up of a sophistica...
