Dark structures inside light waves can briefly move faster than light without breaking relativity or transmitting energy or information.

In 2012, Hurricane Sandy ripped through Alex Berkowitz’s hometown of Rockaway Beach in Queens, N.Y. Her community, a thriving neighborhood where children played on the street and the elderly walked ...

"Plastronic waves traveled along the water, the superhydrophobic surface and the gas layer 45 times faster than capillary waves normally do," Nieminen says. Setting a wave speed record is only part of ...

Seismological research is directly related to the incubation, occurrence, and evolution of earthquakes. Scientists seek to reveal potential earthquake precursors by monitoring the stress state of ...

When we think of advanced surfing, we’ll often point to bigger surf as some kind of measuring stick. Ooooo look, she’s riding double/triple overhead waves! She must rip!! Can I tell you, at some level ...

Physicists and biomedical engineers unlocked new properties in capillary waves thanks to superhydrophobicity. Ripples, like ones produced by raindrops falling in a puddle, are also called capillary ...

Ripples, like ones produced by raindrops falling in a puddle, are also called capillary waves. Studied since antiquity, they have garnered considerable interest in modern science due to their ability ...
