Towering structures must be able to bend and sway when subjected to the forces of wind and ground movement, or they will ...

A hundred years of physics tells us that collective atomic vibrations, called phonons, can behave like particles or waves. When they hit an interface between two materials, they can bounce off like a ...

Energy Fields examines the science of vibration, sound and kinetic energy detection through art. Energy Fields examines approaches to vibration, sound, and kinetic energy shared by artists and ...

There's a lion's share of potential energy in the vibrations produced by footsteps on dance floors, exercise machines in the ...

Materials consisting of a few atomic layers display properties determined by quantum physics. In a stack of such layers, vibrations of the atoms can be triggered by infrared light. New experimental ...

Legos are a beloved staple of educational science activities and have even proved useful in particle physics experiments at CERN to explore the properties of hadrons. For Brian Anderson, a physicist ...

Spiders’ webs come in all shapes and sizes, from funnel webs to sheet webs and the classic orb web – the sort you imagine for ...

There's rarely time to write about every cool science-y story that comes our way. So this year, we're once again running a special Twelve Days of Christmas series of posts, highlighting one science ...
