Low-intensity focused ultrasound can penetrate a deep part of the brain called the insula and relieve both pain and the body’s response to it.

Ultrasound can guide "microvehicles" through blood vessels in the brain. Researchers hope this will lead to more precise drug delivery.

A new tool uses "vortex ultrasound"—a sort of ultrasonic tornado—to break down blood clots in the brain more quickly than existing methods.

A new technique using ultrasound may offer a way to move or blast apart kidney stones with minimal pain while the patient is awake.

Researchers have figured out how to use ultrasound and bubbles to make medical adhesive bandages stickier and last longer—even on wet skin.

A new way for people to receive tactile feedback in virtual reality uses the lips, mouth, and tongue. "It makes the experience much more immersive."

A new way to break up particularly tough blood clots uses engineered nanodroplets and an ultrasound "drill."

Scientists once thought ultrasound would never be useful in looking at lung health. An expert explains how new advances are changing that.

"Conventional ultrasound imaging probes can cost upward of $100,000... We can make ultrasound receiver-display units for $100 or so."

Surfing attacks use ultrasonic waves to control your phone from afar. They could let hackers make calls or read texts, all without you knowing.
