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: This paper presents a 191-GHz harmonic oscillator with high DC-to-RF efficiency and small physical size in a 65nm CMOS technology. This harmonic oscillator utilizes a novel structure to ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Often, one needs a simple low voltage sinusoidal oscillator with good amplitude and frequency stability and low harmonic distortion; here, the Peltz oscillator becomes a viable candidate. Please see ...

Despite being an older, established technology, demand continues for wideband high-frequency oscillators based on the venerable Gunn diode. Sadly, designing and building such oscillators is a skill ...

I keep wanting to understand Bernoulli numbers more deeply, and people keep telling me stuff that’s fancy when I want to understand things simply. But let me try again.

HDR on PC is infamously bad, but it doesn’t need to be. Following the tumultuous few years after Microsoft introduced HDR to Windows, it’s in a much better spot now. With the right monitor, ...

The harmonic oscillator is one of the most studied systems in Physics with a myriad of applications. One of the first problems solved in a Quantum Mechanics course is calculating the energy spectrum ...

A simple harmonic oscillator presentation made using javascript and html. It should be noted that this is a presentation, not a simulation, which means that the numeric values probably aren't accurate ...
