As a swede who wanted to look up more about these Swedish researchers, it was hilarious to me that they were actually Swiss. Then I looked up the article's author and apparently she's German. Seriously thought only North America got Sweden and Switzerland mixed up.
This would be revolutionary and I'm not just talking about headphones, think about situations like having a snoring partner or a construction site nearby. I can imagine how a business like "earplugs with ionised noise cancellation" emerges and becomes very successful.

What a bad article.

She's a pretty popular YouTuber. I think the article is just a repost of a community post on her Patreon

Someone actually wrote that? It reads like AI generated fluff.

That last neighbor bit.
Editor: remember, you need to have a statement about negatives or limitations, can't have only positives.
Writer: uhh you got it, boss, I'm sure I can think of something.

Autistic son will take any invention that blocks noise so hopefully this becomes something šš

Idk that seems like some bad limitation. Active noise cancelling can already cancel low tones pretty well and fits in earbuds.

I wonder how many marriages they will save?
And, yeah, I want a pair too.

Because if there's one thing that threatens most marriages, it's too much communication

I probably should have put a smiley on my comment.
I've been happily married for almost 30 years now.

I assumed you were talking about snoring.

I want this tech in my home's or car windows to deaden the noise pollution in the city.

That's really ironic considering most of the noise pollution is cars lol

If those work as well as the article claims, I look forward to owning a pair.
Wonder if they can get the tech small enough to put inside earplugs?

I donāt need earplugs. Iād just wear it in a necklace and enjoy the quiet.
