Journal of Coastal Research, SPECIAL ISSUE NO. 29. Natural and Artificial Reefs for Surfing and Coastal Protection (WINTER 2001), pp. 51-65 (15 pages) A method for predicting and describing the ...

The intensity of waves in a three-dimensional material that has a high degree of disorder does not drop off exponentially — rather it exhibits a step-like change. The interaction of waves with ...

Researchers have developed a way to use sound to create cellular scaffolding for tissue engineering, a unique approach that could help overcome one of regenerative medicine’s significant obstacles.

Imagine working in your office while the sun is shining outside. Thinking about what you could be doing instead of working is an example of "counterfactual thinking". New research in primates has ...

In 2011, Hurricane Irene brushed the coast of Florida. University of Miami atmospheric scientists have for the first time measured gravity waves inside hurricanes, which could provide a new way to ...

Atmospheric teleconnections or wave trains, such as the well-known PNA (Pacific–North America) pattern, are of great importance because they can link weather and climate between regions separated by ...

(Nanowerk News) "Terahertz waves" fall between microwave and infrared radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, oscillating at frequencies of between 100 billion and 30 trillion cycles per second.

Materials that locally amplify or absorb light allow surprising new kinds of light waves – this has now been shown by calculations. Materials that locally amplify or absorb light allow surprising new ...
