Scientists Discover Potential Way of Transmitting Sound in Space

Scientists from Finland have found a potential way of transmitting sound in space. During the experiment, they demonstrated the effectiveness of 'vacuum phonon tunneling'. Sound waves are unable to propagate in space because it lacks molecules, atoms, and ions. However, sound vibrations can 'jump' from one object to another even through a vacuum gap, if certain conditions are created. The scientists attempted to recreate these conditions. The scientists emphasize that their experiment cannot be considered direct proof that sound can propagate in a vacuum. However, the results of their work can be used in other fields of science.
