Precis with links to formal publications:
The 'Sound in Space' work (which produced a "world's first" planetarium show in
April 2012 and featured in the Dutch National Quiz in
December 2012 - see below
for both) inspired designs in a
fashion show in London. Prof
Leighton answered questions of the designer to ensure the designs properly
reflected the underlying physics.

December 2012: Dutch national Quiz features question on Southampton's 'Sound in Space' Work
Precis with links to formal publications:
The 'Sound in Space' work (which produced a "world's first" planetarium show in
April 2012 - see below) was used as one of the 15 questions in the 19th annual
Dutch science quiz on TV..
One million people watched this on TV. Fifteen questions will be published in
the newspapers beforehand and people try to answer them in the hope of winning
prizes but most of all because of the honor of winning. Additionally,

May 2012: Bubble detectors invented for the USA's Oak Ridge National Laboratory $1.4 billion Spallation Neutron Source
Precis with links to formal publications: In an effort to build sensors to measure bubbles in pipelines, we first established the baseline for acoustic propagation in bubble-free conditions (click here; with validation and an interesting extraterrestrial application here). We then used this to show how to make the measurement in bubbly pipes work, and why the current method does not work (click here). The equipment we build was used for a TV demo (click here) and demonstrations for the public (click here).

April 2012: The world's first planetarium show featuring the sounds and voices of other worlds
Precis with links to formal publications: Earlier work on propagation of sound in the oceans of Jupiter's icy moons (click here) and the unexpected design issues for acoustical instruments for probes to other worlds (click here and here) led to predictions of sounds of other worlds, beginning with 'waterfalls' made of methane on Saturn's moon Titan (click here) and eventually leading to the ability to predict the sounds of voices and musical instruments on other worlds (click here and here). These discoveries were built into a device which was licensed to a local planetarium to allow them to produce for the public, for the first time (click here), shows about sound in space.
