The phenomenon of packing densification under mechanical vibration involves utilising controlled vibratory motions to rearrange particles into denser configurations. This process is critical both for ...

Laser and optical systems, whether used in academic labs or industry, are very susceptible to vibrations from the environment, and so these instruments frequently need vibration isolation. They ...

Micro mechanical elements are indispensable components of modern electrical devices but the actuation of them requires electrical current. It becomes harder to wire the element as further downscaling ...

This article explains how adhesives and sealants improve connector reliability through moisture barriers, vibration damping, and mechanical stabilization.

Nanomechanical systems developed at TU Wien have now reached a level of precision and miniaturization that will allow them to be used in ultra-high-resolution atomic force microscopes in the future.

In biomechanics, non-contact laser Doppler vibrometry is a highly important and potent tool. In determining the dynamic properties of a pelvic bone, recent experiments have relied on deflection ...

Using tiny radiation pressure forces, physicists converted an optical field, or signal, from one color to another, aided by a "dark mode." The conversion occurs through the coupling between light and ...

Much of the abundant mechanical energy around us is irregular and oscillatory and can be somewhat difficult to efficiently tap into. Typical energy harvesting systems tend to be built for low power ...

Richard Mille, Airbus Corporate Jets, and Audemars Piguet Renaud & Papi have teamed up to produce a new vibrating mechanical traveler's wristwatch. The result of five years of research and development ...
