A collaboration between researchers from Virginia Tech and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in the US has built a chip-scale device that can trap and control sound waves in a way that mimics the ...

Across much of the northern hemisphere, extreme weather events like heat waves and heavy precipitation have increased in ...

Waves are ubiquitous in nature and technology. Whether it’s the rise and fall of ocean tides or the swinging of a clock’s pendulum, the predictable rhythms of waves create a signal that is easy to ...

In the space of just a few seconds, a person walking down a city block might check their phone, yawn, worry about making rent, and adjust their path to avoid a puddle. The smell from a food cart could ...

This talk will present the methodology of using the guided ultrasonic waves generated by the rodent to track its physiology, behavior, and psychological state. When behaving in an environment, muscle ...

Patterned elastic plate guides ultrasonic waves and traps different frequencies at separate bulk locations, enabling compact ...
