1) A place called "Science Daily" using the phrase "x Times Smaller Than"... arrrgh. (offtopic: Google "times smaller than" in the next couple hours to get a peak into how Google seems to be ranking sites... I was surprised to see this topic was 60% of the first page) 2) Outbound links! Please, people, this is what the internet is about! 3) This is an interesting article. Unfortunately because of a lack of (2) it's hard to tell if they're making an effort to do this in a way that supports a wide array of instruments (an instrument synthesis API would be pretty cool), or if this research has a more limited scope. I admit I don't know enough about sound and music to speak intelligently about what this research could do, but it seems like they could abstract it to multiple classes of instrument and open a whole new field of synthesizing instruments that sound like they should exist but don't. I'm thinking of the sound equivalent of the Memristor -- the (1940s?) math and physics showed that it is possible but nobody had made one until >2006.
