Ship waves, the complex patterns generated as vessels displace water, remain a subject of significant scientific and engineering interest. Traditionally described by Kelvin’s theory of ship wakes, ...

In a new collaborative study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a team of researchers from the University of Washington, SUNY at Buffalo and the University of New ...

Granular systems, comprising ensembles of discrete particles, exhibit strikingly rich dynamics when subjected to mechanical disturbances. In these systems, strong nonlinear interactions give rise to ...

University of Queensland researchers have created a microscopic "ocean" on a silicon chip to miniaturize the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ's School of Mathematics and Physics, uses a ...

I am a retired university physics professor who is pleased to see scientifically-backed considerations applied in serious decision-making — especially that impacting water safety and environmental ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Electron microscope image of the superfluid wave tank (blue) coupled to an optical fibre which brings laser light in and out of ...

The dynamic response of the capsule-airbags system during interaction with both regular and irregular waves at Ux=12m/s is systematically analyzed across three characteristic phases: initial impact, ...

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 ...

Researchers can now observe the phonon dynamics and wave propagation in self-assembly of nanomaterials with unusual properties that rarely exist in nature. This advance will enable researchers to ...
