The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in the rapid development of various vaccines and antiviral therapies. Research on COVID-19 has expanded to fields beyond biology and ...

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 ...

A team of Caltech researchers is proposing a radical new technique for killing cancer cells using low-intensity ultrasound waves. The preliminary research is still at an incredibly early stage but ...

Recent groundbreaking studies have uncovered that sonic waves can induce vivid hallucinations when applied in controlled lab environments. This surprising discovery opens new avenues for understanding ...

Sound waves at frequencies above the threshold for human hearing are routinely used in medical care. Also known as ultrasound, these sound waves can help clinicians diagnose and monitor disease, and ...

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 ...
