The earliest scientists first observed the waves that earthquakes produce before they could accurately describe the nature of earthquakes or their fundamental causes, as discussed in Lessons 1–5.

A group of international researchers have developed a way to use sound to generate different types of wave patterns on the ...

The biggest, baddest waves aren’t born that way. Winds at sea generate waves that average ten feet high; during storms, 30-footers are common. But what creates waves the size of office buildings ...

In a paper published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, researchers have presented a model that aims to understand how extreme weather events, worsened by climate change, will affect ecosystems and the ...

Astrophysicist Kip Thorne dared to dream of a machine to find gravitational waves. Ricardo Dearatanha / Los Angeles Times / Getty Images More than a billion years ago, in a galaxy far, far away ...

Imagine hopping onto a large floatie in a lake or pool, and then trying to move. We’ve all been there—without paddling limbs, wind-catching sails, or a propelling engine, you’re stuck.

THE propagation of finite waves in fluids or solids generally presents considerable difficulty, both theoretically and experimentally. In rubber-like materials, however, the experimental ...

A team of international scientists co-led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have discovered a way to manipulate water waves, allowing them to trap and precisely move ...

Where there's water, there are waves. But what if you could bend water waves to your will to move floating objects? Scientists have now developed a technique to merge waves in a water tank to ...
