So far, the team has measured several effects, including wave steepening, shock fronts and solitary wave fission thanks to the chip. While these nonlinear behaviours had been predicted in superfluids, ...

We formulated a dynamic model with linear wave theory to predict the effects of wave height, wave length, and water depth on modulation of the local surface cover in a Macrocystis pyrifera canopy.

The hunt is on for orbiting pairs of supermassive black holes on the verge of collision. Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology have built the first simulation that could lead scientists to ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...
