Acoustic Metamaterials and Metasurfaces: Shaping the Future of Sound Control
Intro Acoustic metamaterials and acoustic meta surfaces are changing how we control sound waves. These specially designed structures go beyond the limits of traditional soundproofing. They offer new ways to control sound, such as reducing noise over a wide frequency range, blocking sound at very small scales, isolating vibrations, hiding objects from sound (acoustic cloaking), and […]
