Bio-Inspired Directional Microphone for Precision Acoustic Detection

This invention introduces a diaphragm-less, viscosity-driven microphone that measures air particle velocity instead of pressure. Using microfabricated viscous-coupled elements, it achieves high directional sensitivity, broadband response, and resistance to environmental noise. Inspired by biological flow sensors, it enables compact, low-cost, and precise...
