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

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 ...

For decades, geophysicists have known that something unusual happens nearly 2,900 kilometres beneath our feet. Seismic waves from earthquakes suddenly speed up in a thin zone just above Earth’s core.

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 ...

As the Olympics get going in earnest this week, not everyone's attention is focused on the host city, Paris. Surf fans are heading to Tahiti, which is half a world away in French Polynesia. Why? Well, ...

Dark spots within lightwaves break the speed of light in new research confirming a half-century-old prediction.

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 ...

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 ...
