Resonant mechanism discovery could inspire ultra-thin acoustic absorbers

Monday, November 12, 2018 - 15:20 in Physics & Chemistry

New research led by academics at the University of Bristol has discovered that the scales on moth wings vibrate and can absorb the sound frequencies used by bats for echolocation (biological sonar). The finding could help researchers develop bioinspired thin and lightweight resonant sound absorbers.
