Acoustic Metamaterial An acoustic metamaterial is a material that is designed to control and manipulate the propagation of sound waves. It is a man-made material with unique…
Acoustic Waves Acoustic waves are a type of energy propagation method that uses adiabatic loading and unloading to move through a medium. Acoustic pressure, particle velocity, particle…
Transverse Wave – in Physics In physics, a transverse wave is one whose oscillations are perpendicular to the wave’s advance direction. This is in contrast to a longitudinal wave, which…
Thermoelectric Generator A thermoelectric generator (TEG), also known as a Seebeck generator, is a solid-state device that directly converts heat flux (temperature differences) into electrical energy via…
Longitudinal Waves Longitudinal waves are a type of wave that occurs when particles in a medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave.…
Rayleigh Waves Rayleigh waves are a type of surface wave that propagates along the surface of a solid or fluid medium, such as the ground. They are…
A Pathway to a Better Understanding of a Perplexing Universal Process Magnetic reconnection, a perplexing phenomenon, causes explosive occurrences throughout the universe, causing solar flares and space storms that can disrupt cell phone service and electrical…
Surface Acoustic Wave A surface acoustic wave (SAW) is a type of sound wave that travels along the surface of a solid material. It is an acoustic wave…
Picosecond Ultrasonics Picosecond ultrasonics is a technique for creating and detecting ultrashort wavelength acoustic waves in the picosecond time domain. It is a non-destructive method for studying…
Linear Elasticity Linear elasticity is a branch of continuum mechanics that studies how solid materials respond to external loads. The material is assumed to behave linearly and…
Micromagnetics – a Field of Physics Micromagnetics is the study of magnetic material behavior at the micrometer scale. It entails the use of mathematical models and numerical simulations to investigate the…
Metamagnetism When a material is exposed to a magnetic field, it exhibits a sudden increase in magnetization, which is known as metamagnetism. This behavior has been…
