The planet Mars has several similarities with Earth, including extinct volcanoes, dry lake beds, and active dust storms, the last of which is governed by the Red Planet’s prevailing winds. However, ...

Sound travels across the surface of metals 10 times faster than through air (at ~3000 m/s). The findings are reported in a new paper, entitled "Measurement of the single crystal elasticity matrix of ...

When specifying cooling equipment, engineers are faced with myriad decisions affecting performance and layout. One critical consideration is the noise emitted. As population density rises in major ...

Scientists experimenting with a cutting-edge ultrasound technique have come up with a groundbreaking and incredibly precise way to measure the elasticity of materials at a microscopic scale. Based on ...

The King County’s research vessel has deployed a buoy into Puget Sound to measure the underwater noise from commercial and recreational vessels, a risk to Southern Resident orcas. The study “will help ...

Researchers have devised a revolutionary new technique for measuring the microscopic elasticity of materials. Known as SRAS, the technology works by measuring the speed of sound across the material's ...
