Researchers created an ultrathin loudspeaker that can turn any rigid surface into a high-quality, active audio source. The fabrication process can enable the thin-film devices to be produced at scale.

Speakers work by vibrating a membrane to manipulate air and create sound waves. Now, engineers at MIT have developed mountable paper-thin speakers that can produce sound from any surface. The creators ...

Thin film dewetting dynamics refer to the processes by which continuous thin layers of material destabilise and retract to form isolated droplets or patterned structures. This phenomenon, governed by ...

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have designed and built working prototypes of a paper-thin loudspeaker that can turn any surface into a “high-quality, active audio source,” ...

DNA thin films and nanostructures represent a versatile class of materials that exploit the inherent self-assembly, molecular recognition, and programmability of deoxyribonucleic acid. Over recent ...

Thanks to a trifecta of deep dish, stuffed and pan pizza, no city in the world is as synonymous with thick-crusted pizza as Chicago. But what if you’re not looking for pizza that’s thick as a brick, ...

MIT engineers have developed a paper-thin loudspeaker that can turn any surface into an active audio source. This thin-film loudspeaker produces sound with minimal distortion while using a fraction of ...
