The National Science Foundation awarded a 5-year, $650,081 CAREER grant to the Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. The project, titled "CAREER: Non-Local Metamaterials and Metasurfaces for Next Generation Non-Reciprocal Acoustic Devices," will fund research to develop advanced acoustic metamaterials and metasurfaces that can manipulate sound waves in asymmetric, non-reciprocal ways. This work aims to enable new applications in fields such as biomedical ultrasound, imaging, and aerospace structures. The educational component will introduce middle school students to noise and vibration control through the institute's "Acoustics Day" outreach program. The research seeks to fundamentally expand the possibilities for acoustic wave control by investigating non-local interactions between metamaterial unit cells through electrical circuits.
