Researchers have developed a device that reflects sound in the direction it came from, rather than deflecting it at an angle. The "retroreflector" can reflect sound across an operating range of 70 ...

Wingtips of certain species of silkmoth are structured to reflect sound and throw off attackers, according to a new study. Researchers at the University of Bristol have discovered that the tips of ...

June 26 (UPI) --Scientists have developed a superior sound-reflecting material. The "retroreflector" technology can bounce back sound waves in the direction they came from. Previous retroreflectors ...

RALEIGH – Researchers at N.C. State have developed a device that reflects sound in the direction it came from, rather than deflecting it at an angle. The “retroreflector” can reflect sound across an ...

Sept. 9 (UPI) --The uniquely shaped wingtips of some silk moths reflect sound waves, helping the insects avoid the jaws of hungry bats. Bats are nocturnal hunters, and though they can see pretty well ...

Smooth vertical surfaces like windows reflect sound waves away from bats—meaning bats can't "see" windows and similar obstacles with echolocation. Christopher Intagliata reports. "To better understand ...

There may be new hope for people with noisy neighbors. Scientists at MIT have developed a method of using thin sheets of fabric to either cancel or block sound – in the latter case, the racket even ...
