COLUMBUS, Ohio – A different kind of design for absorbing vibrations could help better soundproof walls and make vehicles more streamlined, a new study shows. The study tested how well built-in ...
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 ...
Crankshaft torsional dampers are increasingly being used for the gasoline engines of compact cars as well as for ordinary high speed diesel and gasoline engines. Recently, so-called bending dampers ...
Researchers at MIT, Microsoft, and Adobe have developed an algorithm that can reconstruct an audio signal by analyzing minute vibrations of objects depicted in video. In one set of experiments, they ...
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 292, No. 1431 (Jun. 14, 1966), pp. 537-561 (27 pages) The results are given of experimental and ...
Unwanted vibrations can misalign optics and cause images to blur. Jacqueline Hewett discovers how optical tables and vibration isolation systems can solve the problem. All buildings vibrate, whether ...
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 ...
This experiment demonstrates how water affects sound waves and pitch. You'll discover how different water levels create different musical notes and learn about the relationship between mass, vibration ...
A tiny, shimmying cantilever wiggles a bit more than expected in a new experiment. The excess jiggling of the miniature, diving board–like structure might hint at why the strange rules of quantum ...
