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

A metamaterial is a composite material that exhibits unique properties due to its structure, and now researchers have used one featuring a small sawtooth pattern on its surface to move and position ...

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

In this work, acoustic energy harvesting from audible low-frequency environments using 3D-printed acoustic metamaterials is investigated. Of particular interest is acoustic energy harvesting from ...

Dan Clark Audio just dropped the NOIRE XO, the open-back version of their NOIRE X, retailing for a cool $1,299. And yeah, ...

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

This is why research in metamaterials — artificially structured materials with electromagnetic, acoustic or elastic properties not found in nature — continues to grow. Writing in Nature ...

Offshore wind farms have the potential for large impacts on clean energy generation, as wind speeds are higher at sea than on ...

Sound waves do far more than carry music or voices. In science and engineering, they help map the seafloor, monitor earthquakes, guide submarines, and even shatter kidney stones inside the human body.

Metamaterials bring it one step further ... This can be affected by many different properties, like electromagnetic, acoustic, structural strength, thermal, etc. In general, this comes as a trade-off.

Dan Clark’s Noire XO looks almost exactly how you think an open version of the Noire X would look. Instead of going with the ...
