Learn how to model a wave on a string using Python and the finite difference method. This lesson connects electrodynamics, numerical methods, and wave physics by showing how a vibrating string can be ...

Signatures of the extra dimensions required by string theory could be seen by future gravitational-wave detectors. That is the conclusion of David Andriot and Gustavo Lucena Gómez at the Max Planck ...

Explore how waves behave when they encounter a boundary on a string. This lesson in electrodynamics and wave physics explains how an incoming wave splits into reflected and transmitted waves depending ...

Einstein desperately wanted a unified theory of physics. Thanks to gravitational waves—the poster child of general relativity—his wish might just come true. Gravitational waves are ripples in the ...

Schrödinger dynamics inspired novel wave physics explorations, including symmetry design, Floquet topology, adiabatic pumping, non-Hermitian dynamics, non-Abelian physics and nonlinear phenomena. In a ...
