April's #ImageoftheMonth: Metamaterial with Braces A new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology presents a design framework for controlling ultrasound wave propagation in microscopic acoustic metamaterials. The researchers focused on cubic lattice with braces comprising a “braced-cubic” design. Through nondestructive, high-throughput laser-ultrasonics characterization, the team experimentally demonstrates tunable elastic-wave velocities within microscale materials. Their work paves the way for microscale devices and components that could be useful for ultrasound imaging or information transmission via ultrasound. Their paper, “Tailored Ultrasound Propagation in Microscale Metamaterials via Inertia Design,” was published in Science Advances, 2024, doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adq6425.
