Scientists with the Kepler mission say that the telescope was recently able to identify a series of events known as stellar oscillations (or, more commonly, starquakes), taking place of stars close to the Sun. The detection was announces yesterday, October 26, by the consortium operating NASA's planet-finder tel... |

The factors underlining droplet dynamics have been an object of intense scrutiny for physicists. One of the most important goals in this research was figuring out how ultrasound waves traveling over a surface can influence liquid droplets, eventually forcing them to move. Experts hypothesized that a wide array of phy... |

Experts from the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) have recently managed to obtain a new type of particles, that could prove to be very efficient in destroying cancer cells. The team says that their nanoscale discs can literally shake cancer cells to death, potentially providing a... |

Scientists working with a new mathematical model may have finally figured out how it is that mosquitoes can hear the faint sounds of a female's flapping wings, but not become deaf when hearing louder noises. The University of Bristol research team has managed to unlock some of the remarkable features, but highli... |

According to experts from the University of Warwick in the UK, and the aeronautics company Airbus, conventional plane wings may soon become a thing of the past. The researchers, whose work was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), showed that unusual wing designs, which had the abi... |

According to the results of a new scientific study, published in the latest issue of the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), each human brain “sings” on a different frequency, somewhere in the 40-to-70 hertz (Hz) range. The tune is determined by the oscillation speed... |

The question is not as silly as it looks, actually. Oscillations are present in many physical processes and sometimes they can have impressive consequences. They occur not only in physical systems but also in biological systems and in human society.For example, earthquakes are one of the most destructive oscillation... |
