Is Earth In A Giant Cosmic Void? Why New Research Could Change Everything
New research suggests Earth may lie inside a massive, billion-light-year-wide cosmic void, offering a possible solution to the Hubble Tension and changing our understanding of the universes expansion.

Drought-Stressed Plants Emit Sounds That Guide Moth Egg-Laying Choices
A study published on November 14 via bioRxiv highlights that drought-stressed plants emit ultrasonic sounds influencing moth egg-laying decisions. Experiments showed Egyptian cotton leafworm moths avoided dehydrated plants and preferred healthier ones. Even laboratory-raised moths demonstrated this innate behaviour. The findings suggest potential f...

New Study Shows Music Can Boost Plant Growth
Playing a monotonous sound stimulates the activity of a fungus that promotes plant growth, a study suggested on Wednesday, raising the potential that playing music could be good for crops and gardens.

'Big Ring' Structure, 9.2 Billion Light-Years Away, Captured In Image
The identification of another ultra-large structure in remote space continues to defy our understanding of the cosmos.

Improved Acoustic Tweezers Can Levitate, Move Objects Without Physical Contact Using Sound Waves
A technology to move and levitate objects using just sound waves has been developed by researchers. The technique was demonstrated on small polystyrene balls that were lifted off a reflective surface without any physical contact. The reseachers fine-tuned the so-called acoustic tweezers using an adaptive algorithm and further miniaturisation, to ma...

Scientists Find Way to Measure Mechanical Quantum Systems Without Breaking It Down
Scientists have discovered a new technique for recording quantum non-demolition measurements. This technique involves mechanical quantum systems – objects relatively large in quantum computing terms but otherwise exceedingly tiny.

Using Bioacoustics to Unlock the Ecological Information in Soundscapes
Remote sensing technologies such as the acoustic recorders allow for scientists to passively collect data with minimal human disturbance in a habitat. It is akin to having a peep hole through which one can observe, or listen to, species without letting our presence interfere with their behaviour.

Sydney Opera House Set For Acoustic Upgrade
The Sydney Opera House is set to undergo a multi-million-dollar overhaul, with an emphasis on improving its acoustics, once described as worse than an aircraft hangar, officials said today.

Shock Wave Therapy May Quickly Repair Injured Muscles: Study
Acoustic shock waves could speed up a muscle's healing process, and help injured athletes return to training and competitions more quickly than with traditional treatments, a new study in rats suggests.

Sound Waves Can Be Used to Boost Data Transfer Rates: Study
"We are now aiming to create prototype devices in which this concept can be fully tested," the researchers said.

Washing Powder Nirma: The YouTube version
Discovery is fun. Even if someone else does it for you. This once a tweet from @livetimefe has had us in the NDTV.com newsroom delighted with the discovery of a 19-year-old with a great voice and attitude to match.
