A United States-based firm has pitched the idea for a hypersonic aircraft for cargo delivery that can travel at super-fast ...

As for performance, the Aston Martin Vanquish can clock a top speed of 345 kmph, making it faster than the speed of sound ...

When Max Koch opened a bottle of homebrew beer one afternoon in Göttingen, Germany, he wasn’t just cracking open a drink. He ...

For the first time, researchers have used lattice quantum chromodynamics to study the interior of neutron stars, obtaining a new maximum bound for the speed of sound inside the star and a better ...

TIME has just released its list of the world’s 100 greatest places to visit in 2025, from restaurants to resorts to cruises ...

Now here’s one for the mantelpiece.A newly released image shows the sound barrier being broken on February 10 as America’s first civil supersonic<a class="excerpt-read-more" href=" More ...

The photograph visualizes the flow of air around the XB-1 as it flew faster than the speed of sound, allowing the public to see an aircraft break the sound barrier. The image captured by NASA ...

As the aircraft flew in front of the sun, NASA’s team documented the changing air speeds as speeds over Mach 1, the speed of sound (761.23 miles per hour or 1,225.1 kilometers per hour).

While the physics of uncorking a bottle of champagne has been well documented, less is known about the mechanisms at play when opening a swing-top bottle of beer. Physicist Max Koch from the ...

This type of measurement is generally reserved for jets—and aircraft capable of reaching the sound barrier. Mach can be found by dividing the speed of the aircraft by the speed of sound.

German researchers used a high-speed camera to capture exactly what occurs when one of the distinct bottles is opened.

The “Helmholtz resonator” concept explains the frequencies of sound produced by clapping the hands together in different configurations.
