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 ...

Even very slight environmental noise, such as microscopic vibrations or magnetic field fluctuations a hundred times smaller ...

Brief description of project: The availability of 3D printers in our department as well as at the University library is allowing our students to design and evaluate low cost design prototypes. For ...

Maglev trains promise ultra-fast, smooth and low-carbon travel, but vibration caused by complex interactions between trains, ...

Researchers led by Rice University's Guido Pagano used a specialized quantum device to simulate a vibrating molecule and ...

Unwanted vibrations can misalign optics and cause images to blur. Jacqueline Hewett discovers how optical tables and vibration isolation systems can solve the problem. All buildings vibrate, whether ...

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