Researchers led by Rice University's Guido Pagano used a specialized quantum device to simulate a vibrating molecule and ...

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 ...

Brief description of project: The availability of 3D printers in our department as well as at the University library is allowing our students to design and evaluate low cost design prototypes. For ...

At Texas A&M University, experimental particle physicist Dr. Rupak Mahapatra spends his days chasing some of the faintest ...

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 ...

(A) Schematic comparison of the puncture process with and without axial vibration, including 3 stages: pre-puncture (contact compression), puncture (membrane rupture), and post-puncture (insertion ...

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 ...

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 ...
