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

Engineers have won a national award for an innovative energy harvester that has the potential to save millions of dollars in energy costs for railroads while reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The ...

A molecule adsorbed on a surface (Figure 1A) vibrates on the surface (Figure 1B). The vibration energy is determined by the mass of the molecule and by the restoring forces exerted on the molecule.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In this paper, Power Flow Boundary Element Method (PFBEM) is studied as a new tool of the noise and vibration analysis in medium-to-high ...

Using a more complex resonator as a dynamic magnifier, the efficiency of a MEMS-based energy harvester undergoing random impulse stimulation is greatly improved. The limitations of basic piezo-based ...

McInerney and colleagues’ tube-like design is made from a lattice of beams arranged in such a way that low-energy vibrational ...

While most planes use heat to melt ice that can form on the wing either before takeoff or during flight, the process is ...
