Mathematicians and engineers have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never repeats. The results, they say, could result in ...

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 ...

There’s a connection between wave types that scientists once thought were fundamentally different.

From vibrating strings to plasma waves in space, frequency and wave behavior influence phenomena all around us. Scientists, educators, and citizen volunteers are exploring how wave speed, wavelength, ...

Mathematicians and engineers at the University of Utah have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never repeats. The results, they ...
