“Sheets made of carbon nanotubes behave like a loudspeaker when zapped with a varying electric current, say Chinese researchers. The discovery could lead to new generation of cheap, flat speakers.”
“If you match the pitch of tone generator to the resonant frequency of the glass the vibrating air will start the glass vibrating too.

“The hottest material ever created in the laboratory makes an eerie drone. A similar sound may have pervaded the universe just after the big bang, when space was a seething cauldron of matter.”
“Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is so advanced today that it can bedifficult to distinguish from reality. But the creation of the sounds that accompany the images are still largely the work of skilled “Foley artists ” working with physical props.”
“Soon, though, computers may be able to generate eerily accurate sounds for film soundtracks too. For the first time, a team of computer scientists has reproduced the sound of flowing and dripping by modelling the way water creates sound in the real world .”
