Researchers demonstrate acoustic wave control of mechanical kinks in topological metamaterials, enabling remote manipulation with potential for nanoscale applications.

Researchers at the University of Rochester, including optics graduate students Arjun Iyer (foreground) and Wendao Xu, designed acoustic cavities, or tiny echo chambers, to strongly couple surface ...

Electronics traditionally rely on harnessing the electron's charge, but researchers are now exploring the possibility of harnessing its other intrinsic properties. In a Nature Communications study, ...

Acoustic waves encompass mechanical vibrations that propagate through diverse media, offering a robust means to characterise material properties from the nanoscale to the macroscale. Ultrasonic ...

Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices represent a class of sensors that exploit the propagation of acoustic waves through piezoelectric substrates to detect changes in mechanical and environmental ...

An inspection design method and procedure by which mobile robots can inspect large pipe structures has been demonstrated with the successful inspection of multiple defects on a three-meter long steel ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Researchers often test experimental pharmaceutical therapies using ...

A new University of Mississippi study shows that some sound waves don't just move forward—they also move slightly to the side. Understanding this movement could help researchers develop more precise ...

Cancer accounted for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020 – almost one in every six deaths globally – according to the World Health Organization. Because the detection of abnormal diseased cellular growth ...

Scientists identify two sound-driven mechanisms for generating orbital currents, merging acoustics with cutting-edge electron physics. (Nanowerk News) Electronics traditionally rely on harnessing the ...
