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) ...

Absorbing excess sound to make public environments like theaters and concert halls safer for hearing and using the unwanted sound waves to create electricity is the aim of a new paper. The authors ...

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 ...
