Explore how metamaterials are revolutionizing architecture with acoustic invisibility, earthquake resilience, and energy ...

Using metamaterials - man made materials with special properties not found in nature ... Xin Zhang: We developed low cost, 3D printable acoustic metamaterials, ...

In other words, the acoustic metamaterial needs to be immersed in something dense, like water, before it will function. As noted above, however, acoustic metamaterials that function in air would ...

So-called "acoustic metamaterials" are specifically designed to control and manipulate sound waves, usually for the purpose of dampening or transmitting sound. But such an acoustic device can only ...

New 'acoustic metamaterial' cancels sound Mechanical engineers create synthetic, sound-silencing structure that blocks 94 percent of sounds Date: ...

"Acoustic metamaterials are normal materials, like plastic, paper, wood or rubber, but engineered so that their internal geometry sculpts the sound going through," says Dr. Gianluca Memoli, ...

To date, most acoustic metamaterials have been designed to deflect sound waves in air. Hanford decided to take this work one step further and accept the scientific challenge of trying the same feat ...

A metamaterial with acoustic properties that can be reconfigured in less than one tenth of a second has been made by researchers at the University of Bristol in the UK. Created by Mihai Caleap and ...

So the Boston team set out to design an acoustic metamaterial that could effectively block sound without blocking the passage of air. "Sound is made by very tiny disturbances in the air," say the ...

Acoustic metamaterials are engineered materials with structural properties that do not usually occur naturally. They have been used to produce acoustic holograms, bend beams of sound and create static ...

“Acoustic metamaterials and metasurfaces can now be used to generate forces remotely for underwater or in-body levitation, actuation, and manipulation applications. ...
