It’s a question I’m sure was keeping you up at night: can you make an object spin with a sound wave? The answer, generally speaking, used to be no. Now, though, mechanical engineers have taken a look ...

Optical neural networks may provide the high-speed and large-capacity solution necessary to tackle challenging computing tasks. However, tapping their full potential will require further advances. One ...

The top layer represents the location of the sound source and the path of sound propagation (A). The bottom layers represent convergence zones with different sound propagation paths (B-F). Sound waves ...
