New first-principles simulations reveal how metallic surfaces reshape nanoscale vibrational imaging, advancing the interpretation of tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. (Nanowerk News) Probing the ...

Scientists have discovered that applying vibrational motion in a periodic manner may be the key to preventing dissipations of the desired electron states that would make advanced quantum computing and ...

Prolonged or excessive vibration can interfere with performance and damage equipment. Wire rope isolators can reduce noise, vibration and shock levels all at once, which gives them a very favorable ...

Vibration analysis is a powerful and non-invasive way to measure, understand, and quantify the internal dynamics of mechanical systems, but the cost of the necessary instrumentation is sometimes a ...

A root-cause investigation was undertaken at a North American nuclear generating facility when 4 kV switchgear bearings failed. Because the origin of the malfunction was not obvious, the goal was to ...
