A team of researchers exploring the intergranular stress corrosion cracking of a type of metallic tubing used within nuclear power plants has developed a technique to both map and predict its ...

(Nanowerk News) Fracture and breakage of single crystals, particularly of silicon wafers, are multi-scale problems: the crack tip starts propagating on an atomic scale with the breaking of chemical ...

Realistic sound rendering can directly impact the perceived realism of users of interactive media applications. An accurate acoustic response for a virtual environment is attuned according to the ...

Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, Vol. 72, No. 4 (December 2014), pp. 731-745 (15 pages) An analytical approach is proposed to study the contribution of edge effects in the multiple high-frequency ...

A fibre-based source of near-ideal Bessel beams will be crucial for applications that require remote beam delivery as well as diffraction-free propagation. Scientists at OFS Laboratories in Somerset, ...

New diffraction phenomenon of acoustic waves. A novel asymmetric diffraction has been achieved using a nano-patterned array of ferromagnets. This demonstration arises from a unique interaction between ...

Researchers from the Institute for Materials Research at Tohoku University, in collaboration with the Japan Atomic Energy Agency and the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science, have identified a new ...

SoftBank Corp. (“SoftBank”) and its subsidiary HAPSMobile Inc. (“HAPSMobile”) developed a new global model that can estimate radio wave interference at high altitudes and enable the design of network ...

Fracture and breakage of single crystals, particularly of silicon wafers, are multi-scale problems: the crack tip starts propagating on an atomic scale with the breaking of chemical bonds, forms crack ...
