In the modern history of consumer radio receivers, few products have had the sustained commercial success of Bose Corp.’s Acoustic Wave compact audio systems. The first Acoustic Wave system, developed ...

Chen Shen, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Rowan University, uses acoustic science to spin and manipulate sound waves for micro applications including miniature robotics and new ...

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 very simple bench-top technique that uses the force of acoustical waves to create a variety of 3-D structures will benefit the rapidly expanding field of metamaterials and their myriad applications ...

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 ...

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices and resonators harness acoustic waves propagating along the surfaces of piezoelectric materials to perform signal filtering, sensing and frequency control. These ...

Acoustic metamaterials are a fast-evolving family of materials which manipulate sound waves in ever more advanced ways. Now, a team led by Changqing Xu at Nanjing Normal University in China has ...

New diffraction phenomenon of acoustic waves. A novel asymmetric diffraction has been achieved using a nano-patterned array of ferromagnets. This demonstration arises from a unique interaction between ...

Researchers have succeeded in detecting the rolling movement of a nano-acoustic wave predicted by the famous physicist and Nobel prize-winner Lord Rayleigh in 1885. A team of German and American ...
