Listening to the Nanopores : Smart Nanomaterials Use Humidity to "Tune" Hypersound Like a Guitar String
What if humidity could act as a control knob for hypersound ? Researchers have shown that nanometer-scale pores in thin films can “sense” moisture in the air and dynamically change how they trap sound, turning ordinary water vapor into …
