The seismic signals from volcanoes are complex waves that result from multiple single waves that occur simultaneously. To help students understand how a complex wave is formed, tell them that in this ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Last year, onlookers observed a startling site on China’s Qiantang River: waves forming a grid-like pattern. Dubbed the “matrix tide,” this complex wave pattern was caused by the river ...

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 ...

Surfers have long known to find larger waves on a rising tide. But scientific confusion remained as to how this surface wave interaction with ocean tides happens – until now. “We provide a theoretical ...

This image is a simulation of a kind of acoustic wave called a Rayleigh-Bloch wave. The stripes of light and dark areas represent the “peaks" and “troughs" of the waves and are shaped by their ...

Keysight Technologies, Inc. today announced the industry's first scalable PXIe microwave signal generator with frequency coverage up to 44 GHz and modulation bandwidth up to 1 GHz for generating ...

A new device invented by engineers at UC Davis could make it much faster to convert pulses of light into electronic signals and back again. The technology could be applied to ultrafast, high-capacity ...
