Negative-stiffness vibration isolation has significantly improved performance over traditional air tables and active vibration isolation methods, providing improved sound quality for audiophiles with ...

Researchers have created a nanoscale crystal device that, for the first time, allows scientists to confine both light and sound vibrations in the same tiny space. Researchers at the California ...

What do atoms sound like? Whatever you want them to, it turns out. Scientists have shown that sound waves can be used to interact with an individual atom and make it produce sound in response — on a ...

A watched pot never boils, goes the old saying, but many of us have at least kept an eye on the pot, waiting for the bubbling to start. It's satisfying to finally see the rolling boil, behind which ...

The just-released model CT-2 completely-passive tabletop vibration isolation platform, from Minus K Technology, with no air or electric power required, represents the latest state-of-the-art option ...

New research reveals that an area in the brain known as the inferior colliculus plays a critical role in processing both sound and touch in the form of mechanical vibrations to create an augmented ...

Legos are a beloved staple of educational science activities and have even proved useful in particle physics experiments at CERN to explore the properties of hadrons. For Brian Anderson, a physicist ...
