(Nanowerk News) Researchers from CIC nanoGUNE BRTA (San Sebastian, Spain), in collaboration with the Donostia International Physics Center (San Sebastián, Spain) and the University of Oviedo (Spain) ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Too much heat can destroy a sturdy automobile engine or a miniature microchip. As scientists and engineers strive to make ever-smaller nanoscale devices, from molecular motors and ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Like a tuning fork struck with a mallet, tiny gold nanodisks can be made to vibrate at resonant frequencies when struck by light. In new research, Rice University researchers showed ...

Call it what you will — resonance, looseness, vibration, shock load, backlash, imbalance, noise, or strain cycles — none of it is good for machinery and equipment, leading to premature aging, unsafe ...

A hierarchy of intramolecular and intermolecular interactions controls the properties of biomedical, photophysical, and novel energy materials. However, multiscale heterogeneities often obfuscate the ...

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 images reveal that vibrational strong coupling can be achieved, which is a phenomenon that recently attracts wide attention for its potential use to control fundamental physical and chemical ...
