The fabric, which contains a special vibrating fiber, can generate sound waves to interfere with unwanted noise and cancel it out. It can also hold still to suppress vibrations and prevent noise transmission through the fabric. The researchers used common materials like silk, canvas, and muslin to create practical noise-suppressing fabrics for various applications. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
