For the first time, scientists have shown that sound can travel through the emptiness of a vacuum. However, the rule-breaking trick requires specific circumstances and can only be carried out over ...
The sounds aren't just a scientific curiosity, though. The tenuous gas and plasma that drifts between the galaxies in galaxy ...
A classic movie was once promoted with the punchline: ”In space, no one can hear you scream”. Physicists Zhuoran Geng and Ilari Maasilta from the Nanoscience Center at the University of Jyväskylä, ...
Researchers have developed a new theory for observing a quantum vacuum that could lead to new insights into the behaviour of black holes. Researchers have developed a new theory for observing a ...
NASA has released a chilling audio clip that lets human ears experience the sound of a supermassive black hole, at least in a ...
The line about how in space, no one can hear you scream. Is it actually true? There aren't traditional sound waves—vibrations in a medium like air—in a vacuum, so screaming is probably a waste of ...
Researchers have taken a novel approach to studying the interaction between certain topological metamaterials and sound wave propagation. The technique, described by IMDEA Materials' Dr. Johan ...
Figure 1: Layout of the experiment demonstrating the inelastic ponderomotive scattering of electrons at a high-intensity optical travelling wave in vacuum. The relativistic energy and momentum ...
