Directing sound to a specific location is difficult because of how sound waves behave. As vibrations move through the air, ...
New audio tech uses ultrasound to create isolated pockets of sound, enabling private listening without headphones.
The researchers created localized pockets of sound, called “audible enclaves.” These enclaves are like small, invisible sound ...
Controlling where sound goes is difficult because of a phenomenon called diffraction – the tendency of sound waves to spread out as they travel. This effect is particularly strong for low-frequency ...
Ultrasonic sounds are high-frequency sound waves that exceed 20,000 hertz, a range far beyond what the human ear can detect.
