Researchers at Osaka University have revealed a link between the equations describing strain caused by atomic dislocations in ...

A new paper published in the journal Physical Review Research provides experimental support for the hypothesis that hand clapping essentially acts like a Helmholtz resonator—akin to the hum ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars ...

The research confirms that the Helmholtz resonator model can predict handclap frequencies, highlighting the role of soft tissue in sound attenuation. This understanding could enable personal ...

The research pinpoints a mechanism called a Helmholtz resonator — the same acoustic concept that underlies the sound made when you blow across the top of an empty bottle. Experiments using baby ...
