Many species of owl are able to hunt in effective silence by suppressing their noise at sound frequencies above 1.6 kilohertz (kHz) - over the range to which human hearing is most sensitive. A team of ...

Researchers used the characteristics of owl wings to inform airfoil design and significantly reduce trailing-edge noise. The team used noise calculation and analysis software to conduct a series of ...

Owl Design has designed a second home's interiors named 'Adventures in Space' in London, United Kingdom. "With a sweeping panorama over the River Thames and the cityscape, our client's brief was to ...
