Cable-stayed bridges, remarkable feats of modern engineering, face significant challenges due to vibrations induced by wind, rain, and dynamic loads. Research in vibration control has advanced ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

Electronic devices are usually thought of as securely and safely mounted in a protective enclosure or sitting on a table top, yet portable devices require completely different standards to which ...

Scientists show how a light-induced force can amplify the sensitivity and resolution of a technique used to study single molecules. The work has significant practical applications, as it can push the ...

The researchers used ultrashort laser pulse excitation to optically stimulate specific atomic vibrations of the magnet’s crystal lattice. (Credit: Lancaster University) Intense laser pulses can turn ...
