Collaborative Research: RUI: Wave Engineering in 2D Using Hierarchical Nanostructured Dyna — NSF Award to Gordon College (MA, $399

This project studies the propagation of sound waves in a tailor-made two-dimensional medium. The medium is a periodic array of carefully designed nanoscale cavities with a single-atom-thick membrane stretched over them. When the membrane is vibrated, each cavity emits a high-frequency sound wave, much like a nanoscale

AbstractThis project studies the propagation of sound waves in a tailor-made two-dimensional medium. The medium is a periodic array of carefully designed nanoscale cavities with a single-atom-thick membrane stretched over them. When the membrane is vibrated, each cavity emits a high-frequency sound wave, much like a nanoscale drum. These waves can then be tuned, coupled to each other, propagated preferentially, or even completely canceled, thanks to the unique properties of the medium. As such, this stu
