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 ...

Halide perovskites are a recently developed class of materials. They have applications in solar energy and radiation detection. They are also potentially useful for thermal harvesting—capturing heat ...

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 ...

Minus K Technology’s U.S. Educational Giveaway has granted over $125,000 of its superior performing patented passive ...

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, ...

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

Legos are a beloved staple of educational science activities and have even proved useful in particle physics experiments at CERN to explore the properties of hadrons. For Brian Anderson, a physicist ...
