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

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

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.

Researchers at the University of Rochester have used surface acoustic waves to overcome a significant obstacle in the quest to realize a quantum internet.

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 ...

Forecasters are watching these waves more closely than ever and understand more about how some of them become the seeds of tropical storms and hurricanes, said Kelly Núñez Ocasio, assistant ...

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

The resulting IC uses surface acoustic waves and can image objects more than 100 feet away. We would imagine this could be helpful for other applications like 3D scanning, too.

Although it is generally assumed that surface elastic waves (vibrations) — such as those of earthquakes — will travel mostly unimpeded until their energy dissipates, there are ways to &… ...

About 1 in 3 marine heat waves occur below the surface, a new study reports, suggesting these harmful events are more common than previously thought.
