"Ionic" Speaker Is Stretchable and See-Through. And They Sound Good (Video)

Are the speakers you have a tad bit opaque? A bunch of Harvard scientists have just built a stretchable ionic speaker out of gel that is as transparent as a window. It can play the entire audible spectrum from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz and sounds pretty good too.
Made of a clear piece of stretchable, insulating rubber sandwiched between two layers of hydrogen, the resultant shape is hooked up to copper electrodes and send a high voltage electric blast through the whole thing causing the rubber to vibrate.
It also doesn't look like a speaker at all, but what's getting scientists excited is the ionic conductor. Ionic devices sends signals over ions, and this is the first device that can power conventional electronics. Check it out below: [New Scientist, Harvard]
Students with various learning and physical disabilities always find it challenging to learn and achieve success. Still, they always work hard and overcome barriers as both parents and educators seek new solutions that can be helpful. The engineers also work hard along with programmers to implement innovative technologies that help to break the barriers down and provide students with disabilities with easier access to education. It’s still a long way to go, as the pandemic times have shown, yet the technology is slowly getting there! Read more
Many people purchase property and have the desire to turn it into their own oasis, which often means not accepting the land "as-is." In order to make landscaping changes, or sometimes even to get the Internet properly hooked up, it is necessary to safely locate ground wires. One of the leaders in underground wire locators and related products in Armada Technologies. Read more
