Researchers created sound that can bend itself through space, reaching only your ear in a crowd
By combining ultrasound with a concept called nonlinear acoustics, you can create sound that stays silent until it reaches a specific location.

Very sad to share the confirmation of Ustad Zakir Hussain’s passing. His family has confirmed his death in a statement, which I & others received. He was a phenomenal musician and creative mind. On a personal note: he was also very kind to me over the years… 1/ www.npr.org/2024/12/15/n...

Zakir Hussain, legendary tabla virtuoso who defied genres, dies at 73
Hussain's career spanned over five decades, during which he was revered as both a national treasure in India and admired worldwide.
