A research team from the Department of Functional Composites in Composites Research Division at Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has successfully developed electromagnetic wave absorbers ...

A metamaterial elongates the propagation path of sound waves, allowing low-frequency noise control without the need for bulky materials.

Electrical engineers have determined the theoretical fundamental limit for how much electromagnetic energy a transparent material with a given thickness can absorb. The finding will help engineers ...

IN this method the frequency of a radio-frequency oscillator is modulated by a sinusoidal audio-frequency voltage, and the resultant radio-frequency voltage is applied to a transmitting quartz ...

The applications of ultrathin, conductive films such as those made of graphene have many applications, but it's been thought ...

Hierarchical magnetic graphene–SiCN aerogels were constructed via a stepwise confinement strategy, in which ZIF-derived magnetic nanoparticles and a polysilazane-derived SiCN ceramic layer were ...

Controlling low-frequency broadband sound using compact structures remains a core challenge in acoustics. Achieving efficient, wideband sound absorption with lightweight, thin materials is vital for ...

Researchers have discovered that proteins, specifically bovine serum albumin (BSA), can improve the microwave absorption capabilities of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The optimized composite, 2-BSA ...

In order to control noise, designers must first determine where the noise source or sources are how much each is contributing to the overall level, and their frequency signatures. In order to control ...

"Acoustics" in architecture means improving sound in environments. Although it is a complex science, understanding the basics - and making efficient and effective decisions - is much easier than you ...
