Yale physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of "modes" within the human ear that put important ...

The results provide a new understanding of the extraordinary accuracy and capacity of human hearing. ‘Newly discovered low-frequency mechanical modes in the cochlea reveal how the ear amplifies ...

Ultrasound is produced by high frequency vibrations beyond the range of human hearing. The frequency of ultrasound is therefore greater than 20,000 hertz. Ultrasound, like audible sounds ...

Yale physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of “modes” within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy blasts, ...
