Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of acoustic vibration on the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and evaluate cell proliferation and self-renewal ability post-treatment.
Methods: The human ES cell line H1 was used for the experiments. hESCs were treated with an acoustic vibration device. Their proliferative ability was subsequently detected using a colony formation assay, while the expression of pluripotency-related markers was detected via immunofluorescence staining. Finally, changes in gene expression levels were examined using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in the presence of appropriate primers.
Results: Compared with normal cells in the control group, the morphology of experimental cells subjected to acoustic vibration did not significantly change. Contrastingly, the colony-forming efficiency of the experimental cells significantly increased. Immunofluorescence staining results showed the cells in experimental group were positive for the pluripotency markers NANOG, octamer-binding transcription factor 4 gene (OCT4), and SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2 (SOX2). In addition, the expression levels of pluripotency genes NANOG, OCT4, SOX2, and Yes-associated protein (YAP)-related genes were up-regulated following acoustic vibration.
Conclusions: Our results revealed that acoustic vibration enhanced the proliferative ability of hESCs and increased the expression levels of NANOG, OCT4, SOX2, and YAP-related genes, indicating that acoustic vibration can optimize the self-renewal ability of hESCs and that the YAP signaling pathway may play a critical role in the functional process of acoustic vibration.

Many animals communicate using call and response signals, but the evolutionary origins of this type of communication are largely unknown. In most cricket species, males sing and females walk or fly to calling males. In the tribe Lebinthini, however, males produce calls that trigger a vibrational reply from females, and males use the substrate vibrations to find the responding female.

Wide dynamic range compression (WDRC) and noise reduction both play important roles in hearing aids. WDRC provides level-dependent amplification so that the level of sound produced by the hearing aid falls between the hearing threshold and the highest comfortable level of the listener, while noise reduction reduces ambient noise with the goal of improving intelligibility and listening comfort and reducing effort. In most current hearing aids, noise reduction and WDRC are implemented sequentially, but this may lead to distortion of the amplitude modulation patterns of both the speech and the noise.

This study addresses the challenges of electromagnetic interference and unstable signal transmission encountered by traditional sensors in detecting partial discharge (PD) within stator slots of large motors. A novel Extrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometer (EFPI) sensor with a vibration-coupling air gap was designed to enhance the narrowband resonant detection sensitivity for PD ultrasonic signals by optimizing the diaphragm structure and coupling interface. The sensor features a quartz diaphragm with a thickness of 20 μM, an effective constrained radius of 0.

In recent decades, Offshore Wind Turbines (OWTs) have become crucial to the clean energy transition, yet they face significant safety challenges due to harsh marine conditions. Key issues include blade damage, material corrosion, and structural degradation, necessitating advanced materials and real-time monitoring systems for enhanced reliability. Carbon fiber has emerged as a preferred material for turbine blades due to its strength-to-weight ratio, although its high cost remains a barrier.

Ultrafast excitation of nanoparticles can excite the acoustic vibrational modes of the structure that correlate with the expansion coordinates. These modes are frequently seen in transient absorption experiments on metal nanoparticle samples and occasionally for semiconductors. The aim of this review is to give an overview of the physical chemistry of nanostructure acoustic vibrations.
