Lines of momentarily flat water extend outward and rotate, in the opposite direction to the flow of the vortex. The left video shows the pattern from the experiment, while the right video shows the ...

Topological wave structures are wave patterns that exhibit specific topological properties, or in other words, properties that remain unvaried under smooth deformations of a physical system. These ...

A massive wave of warm water is making its way across the Pacific Ocean as the newly declared El Niño gets into full swing, satellite images show. The band, called a Kelvin wave, ...

Quantum physics has a long history of producing results that seem impossible until someone finds a way to watch them happen ...

An unusual kind of water wave can repeatedly toss a water droplet into the air thousands of times without breaking it. For the past decade, Nicolas Mujica at the University of Chile and his ...

Researchers manipulated water waves to move ping pong balls with a level of precision that seems straight out of a sci-fi movie. Reading time 3 minutes Imagine hopping onto a large floatie in a lake ...
