Whether examined at the nanoscale, microscale or larger scales, the analysis and manipulation of phonons (aka phononics) is opening up a new technological frontier with a potential impact that could match that of electronics almost half a century ago. Phononics encompasses a range of interconnected disciplines, usually labeled in terms of the
propagation, e.g. phononic crystals, metamaterials, superlattices, periodic structures etc. The coming-of-age of these closely-related disciplines provides a converging point of historical significance for the science of phonons. It is now timely for a large-scale international forum to be established and inaugurated to unify all the emerging
type of host “material” that provides the medium for phononic wave
areas mentioned in the Themes list under one scope.
