Dynamical Crossover in Hot Dense Water: The Hydrogen Bond Role

Philippe Gillet, Livia Eleonora Bove Kado, Umbertoluca Ranieri

We investigate the terahertz dynamics of liquid H2O as a function of pressure along the 450 K isotherm, by coupled quasielastic neutron scattering and inelastic X-ray scattering experiments. The pressure dependence of the single molecule dynamics is anomal ...

Single-Channel Indoor Microphone Localization

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Reza Parhizkar

We propose a novel method for single-channel microphone localization inside a known room. Unlike other approaches, we take advantage of the room reverberation, which enables us to use only a single fixed loudspeaker to localize the microphone. Our method u ...

Electroacoustic metamaterials: achieving negative acoustic properties with shunt loudspeakers

Hervé Lissek

Acoustic metamaterials constitute a new class of structures that exhibit acoustic properties not readily available in nature. These properties can be a negative mass density, expressing the opposition of the acceleration of a particle to the application of ...

Optimization of electroacoustic resonators for semi-active room equalization in the low-frequency range

Hervé Lissek, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet

At low frequencies, standing waves within the room cause large frequency-response variations in the listening environment, such as audio rooms or recording studios. This unwanted phenomenon has a significant impact on the sound quality of an audio system. ...
