With the ability to focus and rotate the acoustic field in a given region while keeping the outside region unchanged, the acoustic concentrator and rotator has been developed for the versatile manipulations of acoustic wave. In this letter, we report the design of acoustic concentrator and rotator facilitated by linear coordinate transformation. Compared with the previous ones that have inhomogeneous parameter distributions, the designed devices are composed of several parts with homogeneous parameters, which can be achieved with the help of few homogeneous layered structures. Simulations are also performed to verify the functions of the designed device. The proposed acoustic concentrators and rotators would be useful in numerous applications such as acoustic sensing and communication.

Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMSs) are found in many natural objects including butterfly wings, sea urchins, and biological membranes. They simultaneously have zero mean curvature at every point and a crystallographic group symmetry. A metamaterial can be created from such periodic surfaces or used as a reinforcement of a composite material.

Sound wave is an extensively existing mechanical wave, especially in marine and industrial plants where low-frequency acoustic waves are ubiquitous. The effective collection and utilization of sound waves provide a fresh new approach to supply power for the distributed nodes of the rapidly developing Internet of Things technology. In this paper, a novel acoustic triboelectric nanogenerator (QWR-TENG) was proposed for efficient low-frequency acoustic energy harvesting.

The energy conversion of electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) is typically lower, which seriously restricts the application of EMATs in the field of non-destructive testing and evaluation. In this work, parameters of surface wave EMATs, including structural parameters and electrical parameters, are investigated using the orthogonal test method to improve the transducer's energy conversion efficiency. Based on the established finite element 2-D model of EMATs, the amplitude of the displacement components at the observation point of a plate is the optimization objective to be maximized with five parameters pertaining to the magnets, meander-line coils, and excitation signal as design variables.

By combining transformation optics and van der Waals layered materials, an invisibility concentrator with a thin layer of α-MoO wrapping around a cylinder is proposed. It inherits the effects of invisibility and energy concentration at Fabry-Pérot resonance frequencies, with tiny scattering. Due to the natural in-plane hyperbolicity in α-MoO, the challenges of experimental complexity and infinite dielectric constant can be resolved perfectly.

Low-abundance biomolecule detection is very crucial in many biological and medical applications. In this paper, we present a novel electrolyte-gated graphene field-effect transistor (EGFET) biosensor consisting of acoustic tweezers to increase the sensitivity. The acoustic tweezers are based on a high-frequency bulk acoustic resonator with thousands of MHz, which has excellent ability to concentrate nanoparticles.
