Researchers have pioneered the use of parallel computing on graphics cards to simulate acoustic turbulence. This type of simulation, which previously required a supercomputer, can now be performed on ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

The metamaterial structure the team designed is made of a single linear elastic material. (Courtesy: Yi Chen, KIT) An unusual type of sound wave that can travel backwards in space and has previously ...
