Abstract Ultrasonic imaging is crucial in the fields of biomedical engineering for its deep penetration capabilities and non-ionizing nature. However, traditional techniques heavily rely on impedance differences within objects, resulting poor contrast when acoustically transparent targets. Here, we propose a compact spatial differentiator underwater isotropic edge-enhanced imaging, which enhances without need agents or external physical fields. This design incorporates an amplitude...
Flat bands have empowered novel phenomena such as robust canalization with strong localization, high-collimation and low-loss propagation. However, the spatial symmetry protection in photonic or acoustic lattices naturally forces flat to manifest pairs aligned at an inherently specific angle, resulting a fixed bidirectional canalization. Here, we report flat-band metasurface, allowing not only unidirectional all in-plane angles but also tunability band alignment. The twist, tilt, skew of...
Multiplexing technology with increased information capacity plays a crucial role in the realm of acoustic communication. Different quantities sound waves, including time, frequency, amplitude, phase, and orbital angular momentum (OAM), have been independently introduced as physical multiplexing approach to allow for enhanced communication densities.
