A new study by scientists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) shows that when a ...

Surface wave seismology has emerged as a critical tool in the investigation of the Earth’s near‐surface structure. Dispersion analysis, which examines the frequency‐dependent velocity of surface waves ...

Researchers at the University of Rochester, including optics graduate students Arjun Iyer (foreground) and Wendao Xu, designed acoustic cavities, or tiny echo chambers, to strongly couple surface ...

Engineers have created a device that generates incredibly tiny, earthquake-like vibrations on a microchip—and it could transform future electronics. Using a new kind of “phonon laser,” the team can ...

Ocean waves possess enough energy to meet global energy needs multiple times over, offering a massive potential source of clean, baseload power. Recent scientific research explores the interaction of ...
