Here, the authors experimentally report one-way transmission of ultrasonic waves by relying on the acoustic radiation pressure effect. This effect makes it possible to reconfigure a multilayer system by significantly deforming the water-air interface, achieving efficient nonreciprocal acoustic transmission.
