Summary

Story summary

Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at The City University of New York (CUNY) developed 'twistelastics,' a technique that manipulates sound and vibrations via rotations of surfaces.
Inspired by twistronics, the method enables dynamic control of mechanical waves for ultrasound imaging, microelectronics, and sensors.
Twistelastic system resists fabrication variation, enabling chip-scale miniaturization, and findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on October 13, 2025.
