Acoustic Metamaterials with Steve Cummer

Steve Cummer, professor of electrical and computer engineering at Duke University, explains the various projects he is working on to use metamaterials to manipulate sound waves.
----
Duke-developed “metamaterials” are carefully designed structures that control all sorts of energy waves in previously impossible ways. Our researchers are poised to make these devices a household name.

    Interesting to see this now and having been looking at the KEF LS50 M ( for meta!) loudspeakers, which are using meta material discs to absorb back reflections from the drive units.

    How about metamaterials to improve aerodynamic efficiency and stability, without compromising on other properties like lift/downforce, maneuverability, etc?

    As he mentioned, metamaterials are much more compact. Also, 3D printing would allow much better quality control over home-made designs typically employed in home theater applications.

    And here I was, thinking orchestras have beautifully sounding instruments, which sadly get their specialty drowned out by usually massive amounts of distracting reverb. The proposition, at least one of them, is to bring diffuse sound home? Sounds like a suboptimal pitch.
