Scientists have discovered that brief patterns of brain activity usually seen during deep sleep frequently intrude into the ...

Ocean waves are a vast and steady source of renewable energy, but capturing their power efficiently has long frustrated engineers. A researcher at The University of Osaka has now explored a bold new ...

Have you ever wished to drive microscopic matter along an arbitrarily tailored trajectory instead of just a circle? That's ...

A long-duration heat wave is taking shape over the western half of the U.S. and is forecast to stick around in the days ahead. A high-pressure system in place over the West is keeping precipitation ...

Abstract: The combined use of longitudinal and shear waves is an effective method for measuring plane stress. However, two piezoelectric ultrasound transducers are used separately in existing ...

Acoustic waves are usually thought of as purely longitudinal, moving back and forth in the direction the wave is travelling and having no intrinsic rotation, therefore no spin (spin‑0). Recent work ...

Abstract: The dual-mode ultrasonic technique, integrating longitudinal and shear waves, offers enhanced diagnostic performance through their complementary propagation characteristics and sensitivities ...

What do nine-time Grammy-winning billionaire Rihanna, stunning beaches, and a potential 50-megawatt wave-energy project have in common? Barbados! The island nation is deploying a unique type of wave ...

Structural health monitoring (SHM) of wind turbines is critical for maintaining continuous operation, minimizing maintenance expenses, and maximizing energy production. Recent advancements in sensor ...

We investigate a novel mechanism for elastic wave mode conversion in structured media composed of periodic resonant scatterers. Traditional models typically rely on phase accumulation between ...

D-Wave Quantum has soared this year as it released its Advantage2 quantum computer. The company is still bringing in minimal revenue. It may be hard for quantum stocks like D-Wave to sustain sky-high ...
