Researchers have combined a laboratory wave tank, validated CFD simulations, a compact analytical formula, and a ...

When light or sound bounces around inside an oddly shaped room, its reflections can quickly become difficult to predict. But ...

The objects you interact with every day are predictable – you can pick up a box, sit down in a chair without falling to the ...

Tiny waves, big implications: Electron microscope image of the superfluid wave tank used in the experiments (blue) coupled to an optical fibre which brings laser light in and out of the device. The ...

On October 3, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded physicists Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Barry Barish the Nobel Prize in physics for directly detecting gravitational waves—wrinkles in ...

Boundary-Informed Deep Learning Swan Emulator for Nearshore Wave Forecasting (16 minutes) This presentation explores the development of a deep learning emulator designed to reproduce SWAN nearshore ...

Protons can surf some truly gnarly waves. A new experiment suggests that the subatomic particles can be accelerated by a process akin to surfers catching waves. The protons get a speed boost not from ...

Topological water currents could exist in Earth’s oceans, according to physicists in the France and the US. The team has made a connection between the physics that gives topological insulators their ...
