ANN ARBOR—Strange things happen in the lower reaches of our planet’s mantle, that plastic-like layer between Earth’s crust and core that flows under pressure, lifting or lowering features on the ...

Dissipative wave equations constitute an extensive class of partial differential equations wherein damping terms play a pivotal role in governing the long-term dynamics of the system. Recent ...

We've all seen sports spectators performing "the wave," where crowds of people stand up then sit back down to simulate a wave moving through the stadium. Well, schools of a certain fish have been ...

Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.

On 29 July 2025, a powerful magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck the Kuril-Kamchatka subduction zone, generating a Pacific-wide tsunami and providing a rare scientific opportunity for researchers worldwide ...

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 ...

It’s something surfers, sailors, and coastal walkers have quietly noticed for centuries: ocean waves often seem to come in a repeating pattern, with every seventh wave standing out as bigger, stronger ...

Imagine a tsunami, a colossal wave capable of traveling across entire oceans and causing immense destruction. Now, picture another special kind of wave, known as a soliton. Unlike a regular wave that ...

So I have a 2D grid of vertices, each with a Z value representing the displacement at that point. Collectively, these form waves on the surface.<BR><BR>I initialize this Z-map to all zeros (state of ...
