A different kind of design for absorbing vibrations could help better soundproof walls and make vehicles more streamlined, a new study shows. A different kind of design for absorbing vibrations could ...

Vibration presents a major challenge to advanced technological processes and experiments in engineering, physics, and life sciences that rely on optics and optoelectronics. It affects the daily work ...

Scientists have discovered that electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, driven by tiny atomic vibrations.

Scientists at TU Delft have designed a nanostring resonator that, when driven at its lowest vibration frequency, quietly funnels energy through a chain of higher modes all the way up to the fifth, ...

New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University and Amphenol Corporation, challenges conventional understanding about ...

They show considerable potential in many applications, including vibration insulation, wave-guiding, noise control, and energy harvesting technologies. While the foundation of metamaterials research ...

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

It’s well understood that spiders have poor eyesight and thus sense the vibrations in their webs whenever prey (like a fly) gets caught; the web serves as an extension of their sensory system. But ...

Good vibrations: tracking the motion of atoms in iron selenide Two important breakthroughs in the understanding of iron-selenide superconductors have been made by two independent research groups. One ...

Restoring natural vocal cord vibrations may reduce aggressive cancer activity, offering new clues about how laryngeal cancer develops.
