A soft microrobot with zinc oxide nanorods uses ultrasound to generate localized reactive oxygen species, offering a precise ...

Columbia University researchers are the first to show that focused ultrasound - a non-invasive technique that uses sound ...

Engineers at Duke University have developed a wireless patch that can noninvasively measure skin and tissue stiffness at depths of up to a couple of inches. Already smaller than a smartwatch, the ...

It’s hard to imagine a world without the lithium-ion batteries that power today’s laptops and mobile devices, but the technology does have its limits. One way scientists are working to break a ...

Apple could use ultrasonic sound waves to deliver haptic feedback to wearers of its upcoming AR/VR headset when they interact with virtual objects. Most consumer AR/VR headsets do not provide haptic ...

We can hear sounds because our ears turn sound vibrations from the air, into signals that are sent to our brain. We can’t hear all levels of sounds. Sound waves with very high frequencies are called ...

A German-French team of physicists from TU Dortmund University, University of Würzburg, and Le Mans Université has succeeded in launching shear hypersound pulses with exceptionally large amplitudes in ...

The Delsona platform, dubbed UltraNav, uses focused ultrasound paired with tiny “microbubbles” that jiggle under sound waves ...

A new study provides the first visual evidence showing that brain circuits in living animals can be activated by ultrasound waves projected into specific patterns (holograms). Led by scientists at NYU ...

By converging ultrasound energy at precise focal points, FUS can destroy tissue or open the blood-brain barrier without a ...

In the new device, an array of 256 speakers, each about 1 centimeter wide, faces another, identical speaker array across a distance of 23 centimeters. The speakers emit sound waves at frequencies too ...
