The number of ways to harvest energy that would otherwise go unused and wasted is extraordinary. To cite a few of the many examples, there’s the heat given off during almost any physical or electronic ...

The study of vibrational spectroscopy, coupled with detailed potential energy surface (PES) modelling, has transformed our understanding of molecular dynamics and interaction mechanisms. By probing ...

Vibrational energy dynamics and transport encompass the processes by which energy, deposited as molecular vibrations, is redistributed within and between molecules. This field investigates both the ...

(A) Schematic diagram of the overall experimental setup. (B) The bees’ flight experiment box. (C) Photos of the experimental setup. (D) Schematic of the bees’ loading method and masses. CMOS, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists have found a way to make atoms dance with light, quite literally. In certain crystals, vibrations called phonons can ...

Imagine tires that charge a vehicle as it drives, streetlights powered by the rumble of traffic, or skyscrapers that generate electricity as the buildings naturally sway and shudder. These energy ...

In the Clean Aviation project, Fraunhofer researchers teamed up with partners to develop a system that causes icy spots on aircraft wings to vibrate, removing the ice. This dramatically reduces the ...
