Single fibre enables acoustic fabrics via nanometre-scale vibrations

Wei Yan et al.

Summary: Inspired by the auditory system, this study introduces a fabric that functions as a sensitive microphone while retaining the traditional qualities of fabrics. The fabric utilizes high-Young's modulus textile yarns and thermally drawn composite piezoelectric fibers to convert tenuous pressure waves at audible frequencies into electrical signals. The results show that nanometer-level vibrational modes in the fabric are responsible for the electrical output of the fibers. Applications of this study include measuring the direction of acoustic impulses, establishing bidirectional communication between fabrics, and auscultating cardiac sound signals.

Multiband Omnidirectional Ventilated Acoustic Barriers Based on Localized Acoustic Rainbow Trapping

Hong-Wei Wu et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a subwavelength closed surface structure consisting of radial gradient grooves for achieving localized acoustic rainbow trapping and demonstrates the possibility of realizing rainbow trapping on a deep-subwavelength scale through a closed surface. By utilizing the multi-band response and subwavelength dimension of the structure, an acoustic barrier is proposed for achieving multiband sound insulation and high ventilation simultaneously. The experimental results confirm the theoretical predictions, showing that the material losses can broaden the response bandwidth and form broadband sound insulation, indicating potential applications in infrastructure requiring both air-permeability and sound-proofing.

Hearing and dementia: from ears to brain

Jeremy C. S. Johnson et al.

Summary: The association between hearing impairment and dementia poses a significant public health challenge, with potential for earlier diagnosis and prevention. Neurodegenerative pathologies are predicted to target the auditory brain and damage hearing function early. It is important to reconsider the role of auditory cognitive function in dementia and develop new auditory tests for early diagnosis.
