In a world hungry for clean energy, engineers have created a new material that converts the simple mechanical vibrations all around us into electricity to power sensors in everything from pacemakers ...

Researchers in Spain and France have measured the vibrations of individual bacteria by coupling them to a nanomechanical device with a similar resonance frequency. This new optomechanical spectrometry ...

This article was updated May 24, 2023. It was originally published Oct. 10, 2000. Noise and vibrations in power transmission devices—both those that use linear, reciprocating motion and rotational ...

The number of ways to harvest energy that would otherwise go unused and wasted is extraordinary. To cite a few of the many examples, there’s the heat given off during almost any physical or electronic ...

Analysis of vibrations in single- and multidegree-of-freedom systems. Free and forced vibrations with various types of damping. Response to transite-state and transient excitations. Complex machines ...

Using a more complex resonator as a dynamic magnifier, the efficiency of a MEMS-based energy harvester undergoing random impulse stimulation is greatly improved. The limitations of basic piezo-based ...
