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

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

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

Dajun Zhang, a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will present his work on developing a metamaterial for underwater acoustic manipulation Tuesday, May 20, at 3:20 p.m. CT as ...

Sound doesn’t just help us hear music or communicate underwater—it can also be used to move objects without physically ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
