Mizzou Engineering team discovers method to control sound waves in the fourth dimension

Professor Guoliang Huang and graduate student Hui Chen show off the three-dimensional structure they created to observe audio waves in the fourth dimension. Using a type of material that conducts electricity on the edges while insulating the inside, a Mizzou Engineering team has discovered a way to control sound waves beyond our three-dimensional environment. Guoliang Huang, Huber and Helen Croft Chair in Engineering, and co-authors published their ground-breaking findings in last month’s issue of Nature Communications. Huang and Hui Chen, a post-doctoral fellow in mechanical and aerospace engineering, built a simulated environment in which they observed the acoustic waves in four-dimensional…
