Nanotech is the next big thing from the smallest possibility. We are headed for near invisible appliances, and speakers or the other sound producing tools seem to have met the transformation already. Chinese researchers at Tsinghua University have created flexible speakers, 1/1,000th the width of a single human hair, which could someday see the light of the day – but HOW as the only bewilderment that looms over our confused heads?
What’s innovative:
Portability and flexibility are the most compelling factors that have troubled the wittiest in production houses and labs. Super thin transparent carbon nanotube films were mounted onto two electrodes to form a simple loudspeaker by the researchers; the end result was a product that delivered the same quality sound as the conventional speaker, all this without the use of magnets and any moving components – the most useful mechanisms of the usual speakers.
Watch this:
Some kind of temperature fluctuations can be considered responsible for the sound the world’s thinnest loudspeakers deliver. We can see potential in this lab-based tech, therefore we presume more applications to be developed based on the concept. Then seeing the technique making it to clothes, walls, windows and earplugs wouldn’t come as a surprise for all of us.
