At some point during our primary school careers, most of us probably constructed a simple compass, often by floating a ...

The upper panel illustrates how ENSO influences the equatorial Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and how these two ocean basins in turn feed back to ENSO. On the right side of the panel, the schematic shows ...

A plucked guitar string can vibrate for seconds before falling silent. A playground swing, emptied of its passenger, will gradually come to rest. These are what physicists call "damped harmonic ...

Abstract: In recent years, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have gained significant attention for solving data-driven solvers for ordinary and partial differential equations (ODEs/PDEs).

(Nanowerk News) Imagine standing by a lake and throwing a stone into the water. Waves spread out in circular patterns and can reflect at obstacles and boundaries. Researchers at the University of ...

Researchers at EPFL have combined the power of six mechanical oscillators into one collective state. This is a big breakthrough as it will enable the development of ultra-precise sensors and other ...

Abstract: A novel control strategy utilizing the Internal Model Principle (IMP) is introduced to mitigate damped oscillations within power systems, specifically targeting low-frequency ...

From cadence to stride length and heart rate to calories burned, there’s an abundance of measurements and markers most smart watches can track these days. One metric you may have noticed even if you ...

This project is a physics animation engine built using the Entity Component System (ECS) architectural pattern. The engine simulates the motion of entities affected by forces such as springs and ...

Modeling experiments show Pacific warm and cold patches persisted even when continents were in different places The El Niño event, a huge blob of warm ocean water in the tropical Pacific Ocean that ...
