Blue whales sing at frequencies so low that killer whales can't hear them beyond a kilometer, effectively making the ocean's loudest animal acoustically invisible to its only predator. This discovery reveals how nature's largest creatures use sound as a survival tool.
Scientists built a microchip the size of a rice grain that generates a stable rainbow of light, paving the way for ultra-fast 6G networks and precision quantum technologies. The breakthrough solves a major hurdle in creating the stable, high-frequency signals needed for next-generation communications.
A Japanese researcher has cracked a major puzzle in renewable energy: how to efficiently capture power from ocean waves at any frequency. The breakthrough gyroscopic device could finally make wave power a reliable clean energy source.
Researchers used lasers and AI to reconstruct the calls of cricket-like insects from the Jurassic period, revealing that some sang at frequencies beyond human hearing millions of years before bats existed. This discovery rewrites what we thought we knew about why insects evolved ultrasonic communication.
For over a decade, scientists tracked a whale calling at an unusual 52-hertz frequency in the North Pacific. The world labeled it the "loneliest whale," but researchers say we simply don't know enough about its life to make that claim.
Scientists discovered hedgehogs can hear ultrasound frequencies up to 85kHz, opening the door to road-safe devices that could prevent thousands of deaths. Cars with built-in ultrasound repellers could soon keep these beloved mammals out of harm's way.
JOY FM is swapping studio time for campfires, taking lucky listeners on a three-day nature escape to celebrate Ghana Month. The trip brings radio hosts and fans together for kayaking, wildlife watching, and storytelling under the stars.
