Yale physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of "modes" within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy blasts ...
Turbulence can also occur in sound waves that propagate chaotically in certain media, such as superfluid helium. In the 1970s, Soviet scientists proposed that turbulence occurs when sound waves ...
New diffraction phenomenon of acoustic waves. A novel asymmetric diffraction has been achieved using a nano-patterned array of ferromagnets. This demonstration arises from a unique interaction ...
These three factors—reflection, absorption, and diffusion—are the building blocks of a room’s acoustic make-up (aka its transfer function), affecting everything from the frequency response to the ...
Abstract: Non-reciprocal propagation of surface acoustic waves (SAW) may be achieved through magnetoelastic coupling with surface spin waves (SSW). Here, we studied theoretically SAW-SSW coupling in ...
