Chances are you’ve seen the gorgeous patterns that sound waves produce when sand is sprinkled on a vibrating metal plate. Now French physicists have produced inverse versions of these patterns using ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have introduced a new type of nanomechanical resonator, in which a pattern of holes localizes vibrations to a small region in a 30 nm thick ...

Patterns of vibration on the skin of the hand that are part of how we sense the world through touch have been cataloged, for the first time, by researchers. Type an email on your computer. Raise a ...

Cover image showing the LEGO beam, a simulation illustrating a localized mode (vibrations localized at the left boundary), and the measured "Butterfly" spectrum. Researchers at CU Boulder are using ...
