Researchers have developed a breakthrough technique that quantifies energy dissipation in complex, small systems, offering insights into energy use, efficiency, and speed in computers and other ...

Whereas conventional dissipation devices employ steel to mitigate earthquake damage, the “unique” patent impressively only requires sand to protect buildings from seismic attacks. University of ...

Researchers have succeeded in measuring how energy dissipates in quantum dots by quantifying the entropy they produce. The ...

A team of researchers from the University of Sharjah in the UAE has developed an earthquake-proofing device that promises to ...

A University of Sharjah researcher develops an innovative cylinder-and-particle system that promises to offer enhanced protection against earthquakes, wind loads, and industrial vibrations.

The patent document describes the invention as unique since it merely relies on containers filled with sand or other granular material to protect a building’s structure from damage or failure during ...

Scientists at TU Delft have designed a nanostring resonator that, when driven at its lowest vibration frequency, quietly funnels energy through a chain of higher modes all the way up to the fifth, ...
