The Sapphire sensor, assembled in the laboratory of Arrowsmith, SMU professor of Earth sciences, measures low-frequency sound ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Sheets of plastic similar to that used for garbage bags, packing tape, some string, a little charcoal dust and a white shoebox-size box are more than odds and ends. These are the ...

Research by Pieter Smets of TU Delft and the KNMI shows that infrasound can be used for weather and climate forecasts. These inaudible low sound waves can be used to gain a better picture of the ...

Sensors that detect changes in atmospheric pressure due to ground shaking can also obtain data about large earthquakes and explosions that exceed the upper limit of many seismometers, according to new ...

Scientists are studying how sensors designed to detect nuclear tests could help track space junk and meteorites crashing down in the world's most remote regions. Across the world, dozens of ...

Hurricanes generate sound waves detectable through the air thousands of miles away, which could be a good way to measure the wave conditions near these storms, a new study suggests. Such findings ...

A researcher at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) has refined the process for measuring, analysing and interpreting 'infrasound'- sound with a frequency below 20Hz. Lslo Evers, who this week ...

He proposed attaching infrasound recorders to balloons to record the sounds of volcanoes. But then he and his adviser Jonathan Lees of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, "realized that no ...
