Sound is all around us continually, but most people don’t think of it as a physical presence. We hear sounds, rather than touch them. This is why the concept of acoustic levitation is difficult to grasp, considering that sound is invisible most of the time.
The combination of sound and levitation introduces properties that cause solids, gases and liquids to float. The process can occur in normal gravity on earth, or in reduced gravity, such as in gas-filled enclosures in outer s
During tests in South Africa, the Bloodhound supersonic car has reached its fastest speed to date, blasting to an incredible 628 mph. The unique pencil-shaped car, powered by a rocket engine and a jet engine, is designed to reach speeds of 1,050 mph.
It is being continually developed with the aim of beating the current land speed record of 763 mph, achieved on 15th October 1997 by RAF pilot Andy Green, in a supercar known as the Thrust SSC. The Bloodhound aims to go beyond the speed o
Rubber is being used on ships to reduce noise, after a report revealed excess noise in the ocean was causing problems for whales and dolphins.
The noise of passing ships is disturbing marine animals, such as killer whales and dolphins, by adversely affecting their ability to communicate and find prey. Researchers have been saying for some time that the low rumble caused by ships is disturbing large whales.
New research carried out in the United States has r
Noise cancelling headphones make it possible for people to listen to audio content without having to raise the volume excessively. The special headphones can totally offset the effects of a distracting noise, enabling the wearer to relax in a noisy environment, such as when they’re travelling on an aircraft, for example.
Who invented the headphones?
Dr Lawrence Jerome Fogel, an American pioneer of electrical and aerospace engineering, is credite
