Researchers in Spain and France have measured the vibrations of individual bacteria by coupling them to a nanomechanical device with a similar resonance frequency. This new optomechanical spectrometry ...

Waves don’t just shape oceans or ripple across a pond. They also shape the building blocks of our universe—light, sound, and even the tiny vibrations inside atoms and molecules. These vibrations, ...

In 1959, Eiichi Goto proposed that the phase of an excited harmonic oscillator could be used to store and process information, with a phase of 0 or 180° corresponding to a logical '0' or '1' ...

Vibration therapy is a rehabilitation method that uses mechanical oscillations or vibrations to stimulate the body. Research suggests it may improve posture, increase range of motion, promote muscle ...

Our understanding of the building blocks of the universe guides scientific advancements. This means that we must find ways to peek deeper and deeper into atoms and molecules. The Raschke Nano-Optics ...
