Improving sound absorption through nonlinear active electroacoustic resonators

Hervé Lissek, Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Xinxin Guo

Absorbing airborne noise at frequencies below 300 Hz is a particularly vexing problem due to the absence of natural sound absorbing materials at these frequencies. The prevailing solution for low-frequency sound absorption is the use of passive narrow-band ...

Ultrabroadband 3D invisibility with fast-light cloaks

Hatice Altug, Dordaneh Etezadi, Kosmas Tsakmakidis, Foziyeh Sohrabi, Ershad Mohammadi

An invisibility cloak should completely hide an object from an observer, ideally across the visible spectrum and for all angles of incidence and polarizations of light, in three dimensions. However, until now, all such devices have been limited to either s ...

Particle transport at arbitrary timescales with Poisson-distributed collisions

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Fabian Manke

We develop a model to investigate the time evolution of the mean location and variance of a random walker subject to Poisson-distributed collisions at constant rate. The collisions are instantaneous velocity changes where a new value of velocity is generat ...
