Researchers created a new sharkskin-inspired smart material that allows shifts in acoustic transmission on demand using magnets. As a result the new material can achieve multiple properties in one ...

Road noise has long been a problem in cars, particularly when traveling at speed on the highway, but it's even more obvious in electric cars, which don't produce engine noise that can help mask it.

Sound deadening material plays an important role in making cars comfortable and quiet, but most people don’t give it much thought. Nissan engineers are one of the exceptions as they’ve developed a ...

In the rapidly evolving field of acoustic engineering and soundproofing solutions, Guangzhou MQ Acoustic Materials Co., Ltd. has established itself as a leading innovator and top-tier manufacturer of ...

So-called “acoustic metamaterials” are specifically designed to control and manipulate sound waves, usually for the purpose of dampening or transmitting sound. But such an acoustic device can only ...

In our increasingly noisy world, it can be hard to find some quiet time. Now, a team of mechanical engineers at Boston University has developed a new device that is specially designed to block up to ...
