Want the secret to less painful belly flops? These researchers have the answer.
Experiments by a Brown-led research team investigated belly flop mechanics and found surprising insights about air-to-water impacts that could be useful for marine engineering applications
Electronic sensor the size of a single molecule a potential game-changer
Australian researchers have developed a molecular-sized, more efficient version of a widely used electronic sensor, in a breakthrough that could bring widespread benefits.
Global breakthrough: Plants emit sounds!
Global breakthrough: for the first time in the world, researchers at Tel Aviv University recorded and analyzed sounds distinctly emitted by plants. The click-like sounds, similar to the popping of popcorn, are emitted at a volume similar to human speech, but at high frequencies, beyond the hearing range of the human ear.
The Science of Sound, Vibration to Better Diagnose, Treat Brain Diseases
As part of a five-year, $2 million NSF project, Georgia Tech researchers uncover new methods for using sound and vibration to treat and diagnose brain diseases. The research could eliminate reliance on MRIs, paving the way for less costly and simpler systems that could serve a wider population.
