These sound waves act on a long basilar membrane in the inner ear, with higher pitch acting on one end, and lower pitch traveling along the membrane to the other end.

Learn about sound waves and pitch with this fun and musical science experiment. Watch as different water levels create different musical notes and understand the science behind sound frequency.

UChicago Medicine is using a new technology to destroy liver tumors without radiation, chemotherapy or even cutting the skin.

New research suggests that sound waves can influence cellular activity, including stopping the development of fat.

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen ...

These waves have a frequency some 57 octaves too low for humans to hear, but the musically-savvy scientists were able to raise the pitch into the realm of human hearing.

High-pitched sound waves move much faster but travel shorter distances — ideal for quickly bouncing off nearby walls and prey for a quick attack.

This invention generates high-frequency sounds in the high-pitched range of human hearing, composed of sound waves between 15,000 and 20,000 cycles per second, which can annoy younger people but ...
