Archaeologists plan to conduct detailed archaeological surveys of the area (terrestrial and underwater) to determine the chronology and function of each of the detected structures and reconstruct the history of the area.
Spin-orbit interactions of transverse sound
Spin-orbit acoustics is determinant to provide new perspectives and functionalities for sound manipulations. Here the authors theoretically and experimentally demonstrate acoustic spin-orbit interaction enabling chiral sound-matter interactions with unprecedented applications.
