Go into a science or engineering laboratory. Close your eyes. And listen.
In a biomedical lab, you might hear an ultracentrifuge revving up as it separates the components of a sample. In a chemical analysis lab, you might hear the whine of a turbine pump as it evacuates the chamber of a mass spectrometer. In a missile propulsion research facility, you might hear the aggressive white noise from a test burn of a potential new jet fuel. In each setting, you can hear a sonic fingerprint of what goes on there.
Welcome to Sounds of Innovation, a new intermittent feature of our Voices from DARPA podcast. Rather than hearing the voices of program managers, which is normally what you get in a Voices from DARPA podcast, in each Sounds of Innovation episode, you will hear some of the soundscapes of research and development…and learn just a little bit about the world-changing capabilities those sounds could lead to.
