Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. There are many glorious science-based terms when it comes to surfing. We all talk about swells, of course, the underwater energy ...

Diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstruction in its path and will change direction, or wrap around it. In ocean waves, we see this occur when a wave encounters an object like a jetty and ...

Nearly a decade after getting waves of light to bend backward, physicists have done the same with electrons. Electrons coursing through a sheet of carbon atoms exhibited negative refraction, bending ...

Turbulent mixing from breaking oceanic internal waves drives a vertical transport of water, heat and other climatically important tracers in the ocean, thereby playing an important role in shaping the ...

We report on experimental and numerical implementations of devices based on the negative refraction of elastic guided waves, the so-called Lamb waves. Consisting in plates of varying thickness, these ...
