Dead metallic silence

David Jones

Nature, 1998, vol. 395, issue 6704, 752-752

Abstract: Many machines — diesel engines, air-conditioning units, washing machines — are noisy because of the undamped vibration of their metal surfaces. To tackle this bane of life, Daedalus plans to use organic ring molecules as dampening agents, introducing them into the bulk metals used in engineering. The result will be acoustically dead yet tough and ductile machine parts.
