Cat-like 'hearing' with device tens of trillions times smaller than human eardrum

Cat-like 'hearing' with device tens of trillions times smaller than human eardrum 04/03/2018 03:25 PM EDT Researchers at Case Western Reserve University are developing atomically thin 'drumheads' -- tens of trillions of times thinner than the human eardrum -- able to receive and transmit signals across a radio frequency range far greater than what we can hear with the human ear. The work will likely contribute to making the next generation of ultralow-power communications and sensory devices smaller and with greater detection and tuning ranges.
