A team of physicists at Fudan University, working with colleagues from Henan University, both in China, and from Nanyang ...

Researchers have discovered various topological structures in water waves (skyrmions, merons, Möbius and vortices with ...

Ripples, like ones produced by raindrops falling in a puddle, are also called capillary waves. Studied since antiquity, they ...

Lake waves are something we’re all familiar with, but we tend to think only about waves on the water surface. There are actually waves deep beneath the lake surface that can have profound ...

What causes the windy-day phenomenon? On windy days, have you ever noticed several long, parallel lines of foam on a lake? They are generally in the direction of the prevailing wind. This pattern, ...

One way is to string together long lines of turbines that rely on the rise and fall of the wave. The turbines have a chamber that fills with water when a wave hits it. Water rushes in and pushes ...
