Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. The highlight of the Great Escape trip wound up being their wave pool, ...

Converting wave motion into electricity holds enormous potential as a renewable energy source, but a lack of standardized prototyping is holding back technological development. A research team led by ...

Imagine standing by a lake and throwing a stone into the water. Waves spread out in circular patterns and can reflect at obstacles and boundaries. Researchers at the University of Regensburg, in ...

The control of matter motion at liquid–gas interfaces opens an opportunity to create two-dimensional materials with remotely tunable properties. In analogy with optical lattices used in ultra-cold ...

Gravitational waves may leave a permanent timing gap in light, revealing how gravity preserves information through a memory ...

Covering 71 per cent of the Earth’s surface, oceans are one of the world’s most valuable and yet largest untapped renewable ...

The mmWave sensor, mounted inside the linac bore above the isocentre, measures displacement through obstructions including (a) a gown, (b) alpha cradle and (c) face ...

While the concept of time travel has long captured public imagination, modern physics actually approaches time in a much more subtle manner. Instead of moving people or objects through history, ...
