Acoustic microscopy enables the elastic properties of materials to be imaged and measured with the resolution of a good microscope. By using frequencies in the microwave regime, it is possible to make the acoustic wavelength comparable with the wavelength of light, and hence to achieve a resolution comparable with an optical microscope. Solids can support both longitudinal and transverse acoustic waves. At surfaces a unique combination of the two... czytaj więcej
Thanks to increasing power consumption and component density, localized "hot spots" are becoming a serious challenge in IC (integrated circuit) chip design - so serious, in fact, that Intel recently had to yank a circuit because it was literally burning. For IC engineers grappling with high power dissipation and thermal issues, new droplet-based cooling techniques using digital microfluidics technology could provide the solution. This definitive... czytaj więcej

This book discusses the influence of quasiperiodic force on dynamical systems. With this type of forcing, different types of attractors are possible: for example, strange nonchaotic attractors which have some unusual properties. The main part of this book is based on the authors' recent works, but it also presents the results which are the combined achievements of many investigators.. czytaj więcej
Involving electricity, elasticity, thermodynamics and crystallography, several scientific traditions and approaches and leading physicists, the history of piezoelectricity provides an advantageous perspective on late nineteenth century physics and its development. The beginnings of piezoelectricity, the first history of the subject, exhaustively examines how these diverse influences led to the discovery of the phenomenon in 1880, and how they sha... czytaj więcej
