Tiny vibrations have a massive impact: Transmitting clear signals over long distances using nonlinear math

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

A research team has discovered a surprising phenomenon that could revolutionize how we think about signal amplification. Just two tiny vibrating units can, when connected with a delay, amplify their combined vibrations by 100 million times. Their findings have applications for communication technology, suggesting that small, simple devices could be used to transmit clear signals over long distances.
