Sound waves could be used to remotely reprogram material stiffness, from implants to robotic muscles
A team of researchers co-led by the University of California San Diego, University of Michigan, and the French National ...
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.

Scientists use sound to control material behavior, could help devices adjust stiffness
Researchers have uncovered a way to control material behavior using sound. In a study ...
Researchers have taken a novel approach to studying the interaction between certain topological metamaterials and sound wave propagation. The technique, described by IMDEA Materials' Dr. Johan ...
Using this model of a 1D material, researchers demonstrate a new way to remotely change a material's stiffness using sound waves.
The top layer represents the location of the sound source and the path of sound propagation (A). The bottom layers represent convergence zones with different sound propagation paths (B-F). Sound waves ...
