The Best in Science News and Amazing Breakthroughs

Imagine three people huddled in a circle so when one speaks, only one other hears. Scientists have created a device that works like that, ensuring sound waves ripple in one direction only.

The scientists say their technique may inform the design of future communications technologies. New metamaterials could be made to manipulate not just sound waves but potentially electromagnetic waves too. There was a catch, though: the sound dissipated as it traveled, weakening the waves that arrived at the destination. So theIn this case, air swirled down a pipe enters the ring from the center, causing it to whistle. This creates self-sustaining oscillations in the acoustic pressure inside the cavity. By tuning these oscillations to the frequency of the sound waves going in, the waves can actually gain energy, preventing them from weakening.
