A Vacuum Of Sound at Keira Burleson blog

A Vacuum Of Sound. Sound is carried by atoms and molecules. However, this isn't a carte blanche for any sound wave to travel through space. Sound waves (also known as “acoustic phonons”) require particles to travel— whether through air, water, or some other medium —and the vacuum of space doesn’t have nearly enough particles to. Their findings, published recently in the journal communications physics, reveal that in certain scenarios, sound waves can “tunnel” through a vacuum gap between two solid objects, provided those objects are piezoelectric. These particular materials generate an electrical response when subjected to sound waves or vibrations. In space, with no atoms or molecules. Since sound waves need a medium to travel, the vacuum of space presents a unique challenge: It contains so few particles that the concept of sound as we experience it on earth doesn’t apply. There are simply not enough particles to transmit sound. The resulting electric field produced by these vibrations can permeate a vacuum, effectively allowing sound waves to cross. The word vacuum comes from the latin word for empty. For the first time, scientists have shown that sound can travel through the emptiness of a vacuum. Space is a vacuum, which means it contains almost no matter.
