Researchers have discovered a new set of waves in the Sun that, unexpectedly, appear to travel much faster than predicted by theory. The high-frequency retrograde (HFR) waves -- which move in the ...

Some are arguing that Many Worlds and Pilot Wave are really the same. It’s hard to interpret the strange results of quantum mechanics, though many have tried. Interpretations range from the outlandish ...

In September 2015, a vibration lasting just one-fifth of a second changed the history of physics. It was the first direct detection of gravitational waves — perturbations in the geometry of space-time ...

Surfing has many different types of waves. Some are named due to what’s happening on the ocean floor, others are named for the look of the wave or some simply by geographic location. There are many ...

Albert Einstein's 100-year-old theory about gravitational waves has been proved correct. And now the breakthrough has been recognised with the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics. Scientists working with the ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology Rogue waves have captivated the attention of both seafarers and scientists for decades. These are giant, ...

Researchers have used lab models to study how rogue waves form, but these don't always transfer over to the natural world. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

In a new study, a group of researchers, led by Dr. Joshua Goldberg from the Hebrew University, describe a new kind of neurochemical wave in the brain. Their research, published in Nature ...
