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

These South Seas navigators read the waves, the shift of swells, the movement of wind, and the motion of the canoe to sense ...

So far, the team has measured several effects, including wave steepening, shock fronts and solitary wave fission thanks to the chip. While these nonlinear behaviours had been predicted in superfluids, ...

As the early surf pioneers began to observe, and as advances in more recent wave forecasting has confirmed, there are a few ...

The University of Maine has launched a new internship programme for one of the fastest-developing areas in environmental ...

If you’ve ever waded into the ocean for a swim and suddenly realized that the shore is getting farther away, not closer, you may have encountered a rip current. Common at beaches worldwide, these ...

Alessandro Toffoli receives funding from the Australia Research Council. We used three-dimensional imaging of ocean waves to capture freakish seas that produce a notorious phenomenon known as rogue ...

What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...

Heat waves don’t just strike on land — they can also occur in the ocean. And roughly a third of marine heat waves aren’t detectable at the ocean’s surface, a new study reports. The findings, published ...
