(Nanowerk Spotlight) A theory analysis of energy/momentum conservation laws in a spatially confined coupled system of nearly free electrons and phonons hints that the absorption of electromagnetic ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 106, Section 2: JOURNAL OF COMMERCIAL VEHICLES (1997), pp. 60-64 (5 pages) Real-time simulation of tracked vehicle dynamics demands very efficient modeling of the vehicle track.

Elastic waves exhibit rich polarization characteristics absent in acoustic and electromagnetic waves. By designing a solid elastic metamaterial based on three-dimensional anisotropic locally resonant ...

The quantum behavior of atomic vibrations excited in a crystal using light pulses has much to do with the polarization of the pulses, say materials scientists. The findings from their latest study ...

To the naked eye, solids may appear perfectly still, but in reality, their constituent atoms and molecules are anything but. They rotate and vibrate, respectively defining the so-called "rotational" ...
