A research group has successfully developed a wave-based acoustics simulation that can make highly accurate time-domain estimations of acoustics in large-scale interior spaces (such as concert halls) ...

Scientists have investigated a new way of building a cage for electrons. An international team of scientists around Prof. Ignacio Cirac (Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Garching), and Prof.

This image is a simulation of a kind of acoustic wave called a Rayleigh-Bloch wave. The stripes of light and dark areas represent the “peaks" and “troughs" of the waves and are shaped by their ...

This will vastly improve the ability to rapidly design metamaterials – exciting artificial materials used to amplify, block or deflect waves. The findings, published in the journal Proceedings of the ...
