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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
