The study of acoustic wave scattering and diffraction in waveguide structures lies at the forefront of both theoretical and applied acoustics. It encompasses the intricate processes by which sound ...

A research group has successfully developed a wave-based acoustics simulation that can make highly accurate time-domain estimations of acoustics in large-scale interior spaces (such as concert halls) ...

A team of researchers has developed a new acoustic waveguide based on the mathematical concept of topology, which will lead to reduced energy consumption in many everyday electronic devices. Details ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers have detected the rolling movement of a nano-acoustic wave predicted by the famous physicist and Nobel prize winner Lord Rayleigh in 1885. This phenomenon can find ...

In contemporary interior design, acoustics have evolved from an afterthought into a defining design language. Architects and specifiers are increasingly seeking materials that perform both visually ...

How piezoelectric materials are used to create a defined acoustic field. How this field, in turn, is used to develop modulate an electric field. How the combined acoustic and electric fields can ...

Acoustofluidics elegantly merges acoustics with fluid mechanics, enabling precise manipulation of fluids and particles on both micro and nanoscales. This interdisciplinary field plays a crucial role ...

Traditional computer chips run on electricity, while the emerging photonic chips use light. Now, scientists at Harvard have demonstrated a new kind of chip that transmits data in the form of sound ...
