Way above my pay grade, Sound waves no longer transverse or perpendicular?


Interesting, thought provoking (for some) paper on sound waves and the new wave of sound.

I am a bot thirsty for knowledge and useless information.

Anyone catch the comment about imaging? The hope is this unusual and difficult to attain property of sound might be used to improve things like ultrasound.

 

You wanna cry? Don't hold it in. Let it out. There, there. Want a hug?

"Way above my pay grade"

Yeah, I would have to agree with you on that.

Key quote from the article:

we demonstrated for the first time that it can be a transverse wave under certain conditions.

Allow me to translate: 

"We did some crazy esoteric experiments no one will find useful for 20 years (if even then), but it was unexpected and we spent a ton of money so cut us some slack, okay?"
