Usually, an oscillation found in nature, such as a pendulum or a water surface wave, is maintained by a force that tends to restore the system to the point of equilibrium.

The discovery of two stable peaks at frequencies with a ratio of 3:2 in the power spectrum of X-ray emission from the brightest X-ray source in galaxy M82 suggests that, if the relationship ...

“The oscillation period of the wave-like structure is 100 million years,” said Goodman, emphasizing the substantial technology needed to detect movement from such a distance away.

ABSTRACT Tropical ocean wave dynamics associated with the El Niño–Southern Oscillation cycle in a coupled model are examined. The ocean–atmosphere model consists of statistical atmosphere coupled to a ...

Princeton University's WordNet defines simple harmonic motion as “periodic motion in which the restoring force is proportional to the displacement.” Periodic means that the motion repeats at a ...

The log-periodic oscillations in Dirac materials were attributed to the supercritical atomic collapse phenomenon and the concomitant quasi-bound states featuring discrete scale invariance in Dirac ...
