New microchip design harnesses sound waves on the surface for advanced sensing technologies

A team of researchers has for the first time successfully used lasers to generate guided sound waves on the surface of a microchip. These acoustic waves, akin to the surface waves produced during an earthquake, travel across the chip at frequencies nearly a billion times higher than those found in earth tremors. A team of researchers has for the first time successfully used lasers to generate guided sound waves on the surface of a microchip.
