Patterned elastic plate guides ultrasonic waves and traps different frequencies at separate bulk locations, enabling compact ...

Researchers designed microfabricated silicon chip patterns that guide vibrations along set paths, enabling energy harvesting ...

For applications like robotics, there’s usually a clear division of labor between the processors that control the robot’s body and the actuators that actually control the physical changes of that body ...

If it walks like a particle, and talks like a particle... it may still not be a particle. A topological soliton is a special type of wave or dislocation which behaves like a particle: it can move ...

Researchers at AMOLF, in collaboration with partners from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, have realized a new type of metamaterial through which sound waves flow in an unprecedented fashion. It ...

Researchers have developed a metamaterial that can transport sound in unusually robust ways along its edges and localize it at its corners. Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) ...

Cool wrappings: roll-to-roll glass-polymer metamaterial cools 24/7. (Courtesy: Glenn J Asakawa/University of Colorado Boulder) Radiative cooling is the natural process through which objects shed heat ...
