Researchers have developed two advanced broadband acoustic systems that they believe could represent the acoustic equivalent of the leap from black-and-white television to high-definition color TV.

Acoustic radiation in ocean environments encompasses the complex interplay between vibrating structures and the surrounding water medium, resulting in the propagation of sound waves. This phenomenon ...

Oct. 24 (UPI) --Scientists at the University of Cardiff in Wales have developed a method for tracing acoustic gravity waves to their point of origin. Researchers can use the method to identify the ...

The uppermost reaches of the ocean could be rapidly scanned in groundbreaking high detail using acoustic techniques, researchers say. The method resembles that employed to probe the deep Earth. For ...

Imagine it’s the early 1900s and you’re a giant blue whale basking in the warm waters of the Santa Barbara Channel, just off the coast of Southern California. What do you hear? Fellow whale songs, ...

Climate change is speeding sound transmission in the oceans and the way it varies over the globe with physical properties of the oceans. Two 'acoustic hotspots' of future sound speed increases are ...
