Alfred M. Mayer, Distinguished Physics Professor at Stevens Institute of Technology from 1871 – 1897, was the first to devise methods to measure the intensity of sound by nonelectrical means. He used the term “pendulum vibration” for simple harmonic motion, and his experiments with ticking clocks and soundproofed rooms show that one sound could be obliterated with a second lower-frequency sound. He was also the first to discover the phenomenon of masking, in which a lower pi ...read more

Physicist Knut Stamnes sits at his computer, staring at the riotous swirl of glowing green, blue, orange, and yellow on his screen. This striking image could be an abstract painting, with bright hues sitting amidst a sea of black, but it’s not. It is actually a data map of the Santa Barbara Channel, with the solid black background depicting land and the sea flowing with color.

This data quantifies the chlorophyll and dissolved or floating inorganic matter such as silt, clay or sand ...read more
