A strange form of matter called a time crystal has fascinated physicists for about a decade. These systems move in repeating cycles, even without a steady external push.

Helium is inert, which makes it useful in a lot of different industries. But helium’s colorless and odorless non-reactivity ...

Every student has a stereo system and a tune he or she likes to hum. And that’s enough to get them hooked on Bernard W. Bopp’s “Music and Sound” course at the University of Toledo. “It’s something ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Scientists at MIT have directly captured signs of “second sound” in a superfluid for the first time. This bizarre phenomenon occurs when heat moves like sound waves through an unusual state of matter.

What are the loudest sounds at UB? Where are the university’s quietest spots? What unlikely noises here are around 60 decibels, the level typically associated with a normal conversation between two ...
