The University of Arizona last year received a $30 million grant from the National Science Foundation. It’ll use the money to create a new center called New Frontiers of Sound.The project will bring together scientists from eight other schools around the country, including Cal Tech, UCLA and Georgia Tech, in the area of topological acoustics.
When the cutting edges of math, science and engineering meet, things get weird: Light bends around corners; fabrics grow wider as you make them longer; doughnuts begin to look like coffee mugs.In acoustics, researchers have spent decades working with strange forms and novel materials to bend and focus sound, advancing fields like cloaking and soundproofing.
With the support of a $30 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the University of Arizona will create a new center dedicated to the study of topological acoustics, a growing area of research that could have an extensive sphere of influence.
A $30 million grant will provide University of Arizona researchers with the ability to study an emerging field: the properties of sound.The grant comes from the National Science Foundation to build the New Frontiers of Sound Science and Technology Center.The center will bring researchers together to understand topological acoustics, which is the study of complex soundwave
