Heatproof: microphone made of silica fiber.
Researchers have developed a hair-thin microphone made entirely of silica fiber that can detect a large range of ultrasound and withstand temperatures up to 1,000 °C. It features a vibration-sensitive membrane and an internal glass micro-beam that is suspended inside a single-mode optical fiber. Credit: Xiaobei Zhang, Shanghai University.
