Proof of gravitational waves came on Sept. 14, 2015, when two giant, L-shaped, 2-mile-long laser instruments, one set up in a swamp in Louisiana and the other in Hanford, Washington, detected a tiny ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. There are two fundamental classes of theories required to describe the ...

MIAMI - For the first time researchers directly measured the speed of a wave located 80 meters below the ocean's surface from a single satellite image. The new technique developed by researchers from ...

Sound has a speed limit. Under normal circumstances, its waves can travel no faster than about 36 kilometers per second, physicists propose October 9 in Science Advances. Sound zips along at different ...

Harry Friebel, surfer, ocean engineer and research assistant for the Stevens Institute of Technology responds: “Answering a question like this is highly complicated — to say the least. There are just ...

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 ...
