Ceramic resonators offer an attractive alternative to quartz crystals for stabilizing oscillation frequencies in many ...

A fascinating nature of two-dimensional materials is that they are atomic layer thin films that can be electrically-driven into vibration and serve as nano-electro-mechanical resonators (NEMS) with ...

Low-frequency resonance is a bigger problem than high-frequency resonance in general industrial machines. This little-recognized distinction is crucial in determining the best way to correct it.

Two groups of physicists – one in the US and one in Europe – have developed two different techniques to create and measure quantized mechanical oscillations. The research has fundamental implications ...

The generation of states of light with fluctuations below that of vacuum has been of great theoretical interest since the 1970s 3,7,8,9. Early experimental work demonstrated squeezing of a few per ...

F. P. Journe‘s Resonance timepieces gave rise to a new horological aesthetic, set a new standard for horological craftsmanship, and, most significantly, housed dual movements that synchronize ...

Mechanical resonance is a pervasive problem in servosystems. Most resonance problems are caused by compliance of powertransmission components. Standard servocontrol laws are structured for rigidly ...
