A recent study published in Nature investigates further evidence that a gaseous cloud both looks and behaves like an oscillating ocean wave, giving birth to new stars as it traverses the Milky Way ...

The Radcliffe Wave next to our sun (yellow dot), inside a cartoon model of the Milky Way. Blue dots are clusters of baby stars. The white line is a theoretical model by Ralf Konietzka and ...

In September 2023, a megatsunami in remote eastern Greenland sent seismic waves around the world, piquing the interest of the global research community. The event created a week-long oscillating wave ...

Sometimes the simplest designs are the best. The point absorber is a floating buoy that rises and falls with each passing wave, converting mechanical motion into electricity. As the buoy heaves up and ...

Artist Felix Cheong designed Oscillating Platforms, a proposal for an off-grid floating art installation submitted to the 2014 Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) design competition. Outfitted with ...

The electromagnetic field emitted by a stable laser source is the form of light that comes closest to exhibiting a perfect sine wave. However, even in this case, a constant level of quantum noise is ...
