Mechanical engineers at Duke University have devised a new type of diagnostic platform that uses sound waves to spin an individual drop of water up to 6,000 revolutions per minute. These speeds ...

Cowbirds are special among songbirds for the "watery" timbre of their singing, which resembles the sound of falling droplets striking water, a quick burst followed by a fading ripple. Subscribe to our ...

Shining light on a water droplet creates effects analogous to what happens in an atom. This can help us understand how atoms work, write researchers. Shining light on a water droplet creates effects ...

This blue-glowing water is being spun around by nothing but sound waves. Reaching speeds up to 6,000 RPM, this centrifuge forms the basis for a new type of inexpensive, point-of-care biomedical test.
