A laser-equipped research platform has, for the first time, photographed airflow just millimeters above ocean waves, ...

An international research team led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon has, for the first time, succeeded in visualizing and ...

Ultrafast control of surface waves. As a final step, the researchers used another laser pulse to deliberately perturb the electron sea in the graphene sample while the electron wave was propagating.

"In the last 10 years, surface acoustic waves have emerged as a good resource for quantum applications because the phonon, or individual particle of sound, couples very well to different systems ...

All the latest science news on surface waves from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Earthquakes are broken down into two basic wave types: body waves (often called P-waves or S-waves which travel through the Earth) and surface waves (which travel along the Earth’s surface).

First detection of surface waves on Mars paints a better picture of its structure, according to new research by UMD scientists and NASA InSight team.

Following two large meteorite impacts on Mars, researchers have observed, for the first time, seismic waves propagating along the surface of a planet other than Earth. The data from the marsquakes was ...

Roughly 80 tropical waves are found across the Atlantic basin in a given year, said Landsea, who has studied tropical waves for decades. Between 40 and 60 of those emerge off the African Coast ...
