Researchers have devised a revolutionary new technique for measuring the microscopic elasticity of materials. Known as SRAS, the technology works by measuring the speed of sound across the ...

CERN researchers measure speed of sound in the quark–gluon plasma more precisely than ever before Neutron stars in the universe, ultracold atomic gases in the laboratory, and the quark–gluon ...

By measuring the time it took the staccato-like clicking sounds to reach the SuperCam microphone, they were able to establish the speed of sound on Mars, to a precision of plus-minus 0.51%.

Since the discovery of sonar in bats 80 years ago, researchers have been trying to figure out whether bats acquire the ability to measure the speed of sound over the course of their lifetime or ...

A new way to measure our galaxy's motion through the cosmos uses other galaxies rather than the cosmic background.

The speed of sound on Mars has been measured for the first time using microphones on NASA’s Perseverance rover. Receive a weekly dose of discovery in your inbox! We'll also keep you up to date ...
