National Center for Physical Acoustics

The National Center for Physical Acoustics (NCPA) is a research institute focused on understanding how sound waves behave, especially in complex environments or materials. They study the physics of sound to develop new technologies and solutions for applications like underwater communication, defense, and industrial inspection. The NCPA collaborates with government agencies, industries, and academia to advance knowledge and innovation in acoustics, ultimately helping solve real-world problems related to sound and vibration in various fields.
