Researchers developed a silk fabric, which is barely thicker than a human hair, that can suppress unwanted noise and reduce noise transmission in a large room. We are living in a very noisy world.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology stumbled onto what one called a “very radical” discovery — the new material they had created, akin to silk, could function much in the way a ...

Researchers have uncovered a way to control material behavior using sound. In a study ...

Every last detail can help make a computer-generated character seem more realistic. So a team of researchers at Cornell University have developed a simulator that can accurately recreate the sound of ...

Developments in CGI and animatronics might be getting alarmingly realistic, but the audio that goes with it often still relies on manual recordings. A pair of associate professors and a graduate ...
