It might feel unseasonably hot where you are right now. That's thanks in part to a heat wave in the Pacific Ocean.

Satellites recorded the largest ocean swells ever seen from space, highlighting how massive waves can act as storm "messengers," carrying a storm's power across entire oceans. Observations from the ...

The GWEC produces electricity using a spinning flywheel housed within a floating structure. As the platform moves with the ...

In December 2024, satellites captured an extraordinary phenomenon in the heart of the ocean—waves that soared to nearly 66 feet high. This event, which unfolded during Storm Eddie, shattered records ...

Scientists have discovered that ocean waves may become far more extreme and complex than previously imagined. The new study, published in Nature today, reveals that under specific conditions, where ...

This form of renewable energy has a sea of potential but realising it won’t be without its challenges. Wave power is a form ...

In renewable energy, the holy grail is a source of energy that is always available. Solar and wind power might be the most common, but there are times when they don’t work because the sun is down and ...

Did you know that at least since the 17 th century, humans have studied how to turn ocean waves into energy? But like with many other renewable energies, it was only after the oil price crisis of 1973 ...

Researchers from Australia’s University of Queensland have made a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip to miniaturise the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ’s School of Mathematics and ...
