ANN ARBOR—Strange things happen in the lower reaches of our planet’s mantle, that plastic-like layer between Earth’s crust and core that flows under pressure, lifting or lowering features on the ...

Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.

Dissipative wave equations constitute an extensive class of partial differential equations wherein damping terms play a pivotal role in governing the long-term dynamics of the system. Recent ...

Engineers need to precisely predict how instant and strong pressure changes initiate and dissipate to prevent damage during rocket launches, for example. A team from YOKOHAMA National University has ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

On 29 July 2025, a powerful magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck the Kuril-Kamchatka subduction zone, generating a Pacific-wide tsunami and providing a rare scientific opportunity for researchers worldwide ...

Imagine a tsunami, a colossal wave capable of traveling across entire oceans and causing immense destruction. Now, picture another special kind of wave, known as a soliton. Unlike a regular wave that ...

We've all seen sports spectators performing "the wave," where crowds of people stand up then sit back down to simulate a wave moving through the stadium. Well, schools of a certain fish have been ...

So I have a 2D grid of vertices, each with a Z value representing the displacement at that point. Collectively, these form waves on the surface.<BR><BR>I initialize this Z-map to all zeros (state of ...

It’s something surfers, sailors, and coastal walkers have quietly noticed for centuries: ocean waves often seem to come in a repeating pattern, with every seventh wave standing out as bigger, stronger ...
