Over the past decade, scientists have made tremendous progress in generating quantum phenomena in mechanical systems. What seemed impossible only fifteen years ago has now become a reality, as ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado have recently developed a new technique to measure mechanical motion using simultaneous electromechanical amplification and cooling processes. Their method, ...

Before Tesla devised beautifully simple rotary machinery, he explored other methods of generating alternating current. One of those was the mechanical oscillator, and [Integza] had a go at replicating ...

Physicists in Germany and France have coupled a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) of ultracold atoms to the vibrations of a mechanical oscillator for the first time. Although the oscillator is relatively ...

Swiss watchmaker Zenith has created what many mechanical watch fanatics are calling the biggest improvement to mechanical watch accuracy since the invention of the balance spring in 1675. The Caliber ...

Discover the fascinating process of building a DIY mechanical oscillation device from scratch. In this detailed guide, we ...

Zenith has re-engineered the mechanical watch movement by inventing a new single-piece oscillator that replaces the traditional hairspring/balance wheel assembly. It oscillates at a frequency ...
