RDFRS: Acoustic Cloaking Device Hides Objects from Sound
Fascinating technology for sure! But while hiding submarines is cool and all, I wonder what future this holds for our home theaters!?
“The particular trick we’re performing is hiding an object from sound waves,” said Steven Cummer, professor of electrical and computer engineering at Duke University. “By placing this cloak around an object, the sound waves behave like there is nothing more than a flat surface in their path.”
