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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Two researchers at Rockefeller University have put a controversial theory of smell to the sniff test and have found no evidence to support it. Two researchers at Rockefeller University have put a ...
