The Last Stand," a character claps and sends a shock wave that knocks out an opposing army. Sunny Jung, professor of ...

Researchers elucidate the complex physical mechanisms and fluid dynamics involved in a handclap, with potential applications in bioacoustics and personal identification, whereby a handclap could be ...

A new paper published in the journal Physical Review Research provides experimental support for the hypothesis that hand clapping essentially acts like a Helmholtz resonator —akin to the hum generated ...

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

We wanted to explore how we generate the sound depending on how we clap our hands.” The researchers used high-speed cameras to track the hand motion, air flow and sound of 10 volunteers clapping ...
