A research team has discovered a surprising phenomenon that could revolutionize how we think about signal amplification. Just two tiny vibrating units can, when connected with a delay, amplify their ...

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – Science Central is full of whimsy and fun, all while you can do a little learning. Executive director Martin Fisher stopped by WANE 15 to show how you can do a fun experiment ...

Towering structures must be able to bend and sway when subjected to the forces of wind and ground movement, or they will topple, whether it's a building, a geological formation, tree—or even a cactus.

A collaboration between the University of Michigan and AFRL has resulted in 3D-printed metamaterials that can block vibrations using complex geometries. Inspired by nature and theoretical physics, ...

Energy Fields examines the science of vibration, sound and kinetic energy detection through art. Energy Fields examines approaches to vibration, sound, and kinetic energy shared by artists and ...

Researchers simulated the effects that different web decorations had on vibrations, adding fresh insight to a decades-old ...

Fluid flow across a flexible or elastically mounted structure causes vibrations due to vortex shedding and other similar instabilities, like galloping. The flow-induced vibrations (FIV) are ...

Imagine a world where your phone stays cool no matter how long you use it, and it's also equipped with tiny sensors that can identify dangerous chemicals or pollutants with unparalleled sensitivity ...

A collaboration between the University at Buffalo School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the U.S. Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) has shown it’s possible to electronically tune the frequency ...

There's a lion's share of potential energy in the vibrations produced by footsteps on dance floors, exercise machines in the gym, or the engines of cars, planes or construction equipment. Some tech ...
