Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, researchers report vibrational patterns where atoms seem to oscillate yet ...

A research team has developed a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) piezoelectric vibration energy harvester, which is only about 2 cm in diameter with a U-shaped metal vibration amplification ...

Nothing runs as smooth as a new machine. After time, as components wear, the hum of productivity becomes the whine of a tired collection of loose fitting parts beating out of unison. This condition is ...
