The rapidly spinning red giant star, a phase stellar bodies around the size of the sun enter when they exhaust their fuel for nuclear fusion, dwells in the binary system Gaia BH2. Located around 3,800 ...

Periodic maintenance is common too, but still inefficient and often based on time, not actual machine condition. That ...

Modern devices, from fitness trackers and smart garments to Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, require compact and sustainable ...

Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have achieved a breakthrough in quantum noise characterization in ...

In this experiment, we explore the strange behavior of granular materials, how tiny grains can appear to defy gravity, flow like fluids, and even climb walls under vibration. Physics gets surprisingly ...

A cryogenic microscope that fits on a laboratory bench has now let scientists watch electrons shake graphene’s atoms in real time, revealing something called “phasons.” The work ties those shivers to ...

Abstract: Intelligent actuators, particularly piezoelectric actuators, are widely used for vibration control of engineering structures like beams, plates, and shells due to their advantages of good ...

A new fitness fad is all about catching a vibe. Vibrating plates, or vibration plate machines, have been trending on social media as a potentially effective method for losing weight and burning fat.

The first time I stepped onto a vibrating plate, I was reminded of vintage ads for the Mueller Exercise Belt—an archaic fat-jigging machine used by 1940s housewives to allegedly keep a svelte figure.
