Miniature Robotic Swimmer with Precise 2D Motion Control via Acoustic Vortex‐Induced Propulsion
In this work, a miniature robotic swimmer achieves precise 2D motion using sound waves with customized 3D‐printed lenses. Localized acoustic vortices drive both translation and rotation of the swimmer without mechanical parts. This contactless approach offers a novel route to controlled micro‐scale movement, with promising applications in biomedical ...

High-frequency, resonant acousto-optic modulators fabricated in a MEMS foundry platform [PDF]
We report the design and characterization of high frequency, resonant acousto-optic modulators (AOM) in a MEMS foundry process. The doubly-resonant cavity design, with short ($L{\sim}10.5\, {\mu}m$) acoustic and optical cavity lengths, allows us to ...

Graphene as an active virtually massless top electrode for RF solidly mounted bulk acoustic wave (SMR-BAW) resonators [PDF]
Mechanical and electrical losses induced by an electrode material greatly influence the performance of bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonators. Graphene as a conducting and virtually massless 2D material is a suitable candidate as an alternative electrode material for BAW resonators which reduces electrode induced mechanical losses.

Fabrication of Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonator with Multilayer Graphene Electrode
Herein, multilayer graphene structures are grown on the silicon substrate for the fabrication of the bulk acoustic wave resonator device. The result reveals that both methods can be used to replace the Bragg reflector. Two bulk acoustic wave resonator (BAW) devices with multilayer graphene as bottom electrodes are fabricated using the chemical vapor ...
