Unison singing is the name given to an ensemble of singers simultaneously singing the same melody and lyrics. While each individual singer in a unison sings the same principle melody, there are slight timing and pitch deviations between the…
We present an indoor acoustic simulation framework that supports both ultrasonic and audible signaling. The framework opens the opportunity for fast indoor acoustic data generation and positioning development. The improved…
In the last decade, the multi-sensory approach to data analysis has gained relevance. The possibility of including people with vision difficulties in the field of education and the dissemination of science is part of it. However, in the…
Machine learning (ML) methods have become powerful tools for predicting material properties with near first-principles accuracy and vastly reduced computational cost. However, the performance of ML models critically depends on the quality,…
In this paper, we propose a model to perform style transfer of speech to singing voice. Contrary to the previous signal processing-based methods, which require high-quality singing templates or phoneme synchronization, we explore a…
Multistable mechanical metamaterials enable programmable transitions between discrete stable states through propagating kink transition waves (TWs). Yet controlling these kinks typically requires local actuation or high-energy deformation,…
Recent research has made significant progress in understanding the non-phonon vibrational states present in amorphous materials. It has been established that their vibrational density of states follows non-Debye scaling laws. Here, we show…
Sonification and audification create auditory displays of datasets. Audification translates data points into digital audio samples and the auditory display's duration is determined by the playback rate. Like audification, auditory graphs…
Understanding the anharmonic phonon properties of crystal compounds -- such as phonon lifetimes and thermal conductivities -- is essential for investigating and optimizing their thermal transport behaviors. These properties also impact…
Recent research in materials science opens exciting perspectives to design novel quantum materials and devices, but it calls for quantitative predictions of properties which are not accessible in standard first principles packages. PAOFLOW…
Biological systems offer a great many examples of how sophisticated, highly adapted behavior can emerge from training. Here we discuss how training might be used to impart similarly adaptive properties in physical matter. As a special form…
We reveal new aspects of the interaction between plasmons and phonons in 2D materials that go beyond a mere shift and increase in plasmon width due to coupling to either intrinsic vibrational modes of the material or phonons in a supporting…
Systems for synthesizer sound matching, which automatically set the parameters of a synthesizer to emulate an input sound, have the potential to make the process of synthesizer programming faster and easier for novice and experienced…
Accurately estimating and simulating the physical properties of objects from real-world sound recordings is of great practical importance in the fields of vision, graphics, and robotics. However, the progress in these directions has been…
The quantity of processed data is crucial for advancing the field of singing voice synthesis. While there are tools available for lyric or note transcription tasks, they all need pre-processed data which is relatively time-consuming (e.g.,…
A resonantly excited coherent phonon leads to a periodic oscillation of the atomic lattice in a crystal structure bringing the material into a non-equilibrium electronic configuration. Periodically oscillating quantum systems can be…
The discrete nature of the vibrational modes of an isolated nanometer-scale solid dramatically modifies its low-energy electron and phonon dynamics from that of a bulk crystal. However, nanocrystals are usually coupled--even if only…
One way to reduce the lattice thermal conductivity of solids is to induce additional phonon surface scattering through nanostructures. However, how phonons interact with boundaries, especially at the atomic level, is not well understood. In…
We present Phonon Unfolding, a Fortran90 program for unfolding phonon dispersions. It unfolds phonon dispersions by using a generalized projection algorithm, which can be used to any kind of atomic systems in principle. Thus our present…
