On Titan, Saturn's largest moon, a light breeze could raise waves 10 feet (3 meters) high, a phenomenon that challenges our ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same time. Matter no longer behaves like solid objects moving along clear paths.

Researchers have found that a swirling water vortex can force opposing waves to form rotating lines of stillness across an entire tank. That result turns a famously hard-to-see quantum effect into ...

Harvard researchers have discovered that ultra-soft solids, such as gels and biological tissue, can produce wake patterns similar to those in liquids while also deforming like solids. This hybrid wave ...

Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has ...

Engineers need to precisely predict how instant and strong pressure changes initiate and dissipate to prevent damage during rocket launches, for example. A team from YOKOHAMA National University has ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
