Magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) is a scanning probe technique based on coupling a soft magnetic tipped cantilever to the spins of a sample, and measuring the tiny force arising from spin ...

While more confusing than the traditional "fire make hot" methods of cooking, you can get your head around how they work.

A quartz crystal's case will be stamped with the devices' rated operating frequency, but that number is only an approximation to the real story which is that there is more than one crystal resonant ...

The attenuation of low-frequency sound has been a challenging task because the dynamics of dissipative systems are generally governed by the rules of linear response, which dictate the frictional ...

Something that probably unites many Hackaday readers is an idle pursuit of browsing AliExpress for new pieces of tech. Perhaps it’s something akin to social media doomscrolling without the induced ...

Few techniques are as versatile or as powerful as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. First detailed in 1938, with the first identifiable instruments constructed in the mid-1940s, NMR ...

In the event of a breakdown, any number of issues may be the culprit, but there’s one in particular that’s particularly challenging to diagnose: resonance. Resonance can be a problem in any machine, ...

Strike a bell, and the bell rings at its resonance modes. Strike it harder and the bell rings at the same tone, only louder. Now imagine a small crack in the bell, perhaps invisible to the eye. We ...
