One experiment tested the effects of electricity harnessed from
mechanical vibrations on a New Mexican — grown chili pepper (not enough to cook it thoroughly, it
turned out); another examined how high up a cell phone and a satellite phone could go before they stopped receiving text messages.
«These
mechanical vibrations can, in
turn, «talk» to liquids within the hollow device and provide optical readout of the
mechanical properties,» said Bahl, who is first author of the paper, «Brillouin cavity optomechanics with microfluidic devices,» published this week in Nature Communications.
