In a nutshell Penn State researchers created “audible enclaves,” localized sound spots that only targeted listeners can hear, using intersecting ultrasonic beams that bend around obstacles like human ...

A team of researchers at Penn State College of Engineering have been fine-tuning a technology that allows them to create ...

Using intersecting ultrasonic beams, the innovation creates tightly focused zones where only the intended listener can hear the sound, even near others.

Researchers at Penn State College of Engineering have developed localized sound zones known as audible enclaves.

But when they intersect in space, nonlinear effects cause them to generate a new sound wave at an audible frequency that ...
