Collaborative Research: Wave Engineering in 2D Using Hierarchical Nanostructured Dynamical — NSF Award to Trustees of Boston Unive
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

| Abstract | 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 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 |
