March 31, 2026• Physics 19, 45 Our ability to hear relies on tiny “hair bundles” in the inner ear. A new thermodynamical model offers an explanation for the different ways that bundles oscillate. A new thermodynamical model accounts for the energy flows that underly the perception of sound. A new thermodynamical model accounts for the energy flows that underly the perception of sound. × Tiny hair cells located in the inner ear help us hear and maintain balance.
Mind and BehaviorNeuroscienceVisionCognitive DevelopmentVisual Processing MIT researcher Sharon Gilad-Gutnick has witnessed many children see for the first time. After having their cataracts surgically removed, the children can see the world but don’t recognize faces well.

Almost certainly you’ve noticed it: When you peel tape from a roll, it makes a distinctive screeching sound. Now, a team of materials scientists has discovered exactly how the tape sings its signature sound. The findings have uncovered the fundamental nature of the sound produced with the tape, says Anastasiia Krushynska, a materials scientist at the University of Groningen who was not involved in the study.
