Sound can do more than just provide a nice beat. Sound waves have been used for everything from mapping the seafloor to ...

A newly developed metamaterial enables sound waves to manipulate objects underwater without any need for physical contact.

This new metamaterial responds to acoustic waves, letting researchers rotate and move objects with precision underwater.

The established framework shows potential for extension to other spectral ranges (THz/optical frequencies) and multidisciplinary applications (e.g., acoustic metamaterials), significantly ...

OMAMs, multifunctional tunable ultradeep subwavelength metamaterials, enable the generation of multiple arbitrary acoustic fields with ultradeep subwavelength resolution, facilitate the switching ...

Metamaterials that mimic the order in matters have opened an exciting gateway to reach unprecedented physical properties and functionality unattainable from naturally existing materials. The "atoms" ...

and the metamaterial assembled at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has intriguing acoustic capabilities. The team constructed this first test of the metamaterial ...

Engineers have fabricated a metamaterial that is not only strong but also stretchy. Their new method could enable stretchable ceramics, glass, and metals, for tear-proof textiles or stretchy ...

Overall behavior of composite materials and metamaterials. The fundamentals of homogenization for elastic composites, variational principles and energy-based bounds, and dynamic homogenization ...
