This behavior of coupled oscillators -- long a fascination of physicists and mathematicians -- also can help biologists seeking to understand such questions as why some locations overflow with ...

A variable-speed motor drives a set of identical oscillators coupled by identical springs. The masses rest on an air track for low-friction movement. Several normal modes of this 1D lattice can be ...

Heugel, Oscity and their colleagues explore what happens as several such oscillators are coupled together. In calculations as well as in experiments using two strings with variable coupling ...

The oscillators also leak information by “talking” to a common ... typically explores the quantum systems in their synchronized state after they have been coupled for a long time. In this case, ...

WEI Ping, co-corresponding author of the study. "The results presented here broadened our general understanding of biological coupled oscillators and emphasized the importance of a correct time ...

(Note 1) It is based on a research paper by Andrew Rouse and his colleagues called "Beat Keeping in a Sea Lion As Coupled Oscillation: Implications for Comparative Understanding of Human Rhythm ...

Unfortunately, these oscillators are made from large chunks ... What does that mean? An oscillator is coupled to the environment—think of noise from passing trucks and collisions with atoms ...
