Some phenomena in our daily lives are so commonplace that we don't realize there could be some very interesting physics ...

Harnessing the power of the ocean, Dolphin Labs’ xNode buoy system might be the sustainable energy technology wave of the future. Sustainable energy is not only beneficial but essential, and ocean ...

It's September, and a small group of researchers in a pair of fishing vessels are sailing in some of the highest ice-free waves in the North Atlantic. Here, some 1,600 feet off the coast of ...

Physics fans are a lot like surfers. Both think waves are really fun. For surfers, it’s all about having a good time. For physicists, it’s about understanding some of nature’s most important physical ...

One key to harvesting the ocean’s clean energy—at least a little of it—may lie in static electricity. A team of researchers in Portugal has now successfully used it to run small generators inside a ...

We liked Moen’s original smart faucet, but this second-generation device is a major improvement. It’s worth the high price tag, even if you don’t control it with voice commands. Few home fixtures get ...

According to ESA’s reporting on the study, the wave behaves like ripples expanding from a stone dropped into water, though in ...
