POCKET ULTRASOUND
"George Lewis, an NSF graduate research fellow in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University, has developed the first pocket-size ultrasound system for commercial, military and research applications." http://www.acoustics.org/press/156th/lewis.html

ACOUSTICAL CLOAKING
"This talk defines and describes the entire class of materials, called acoustic metafluids, that can cause acoustic cloaking." http://www.acoustics.org/press/156th/norris.html.

WHALE GUNSHOT' SOUND DISPLAYS
"The North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) is a highly endangered species of baleen whale with fewer than 400 individuals left in the North Atlantic (Figure 1).

(Includes Sound Clips)

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS' SOUND RADIATION PATTERNS
"From these [results] it will also be possible to perform a virtual radiation of the musical instrument back into the room and so one could listen to the same recording while 'sitting' in another place in the concert hall." http://www.acoustics.org/press/156th/bader.html
