Proof of gravitational waves came on Sept. 14, 2015, when two giant, L-shaped, 2-mile-long laser instruments, one set up in a swamp in Louisiana and the other in Hanford, Washington, detected a tiny ...

The Boston Globe Could a wave ‘speed bump’ protect coastal communities from storm surge? Alex Berkowitz, founder and CEO of Coastal Protection Solutions, visited the Harborwalk in Boston. Berkowitz's ...

Key alignment: Randomly-oriented crystal samples do not reproduce the shear wave velocity jump at the D" discontinuity, while crystals oriented along the (001) slip plane of the material's lattice do.

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

Ocean waves are a ubiquitous part of coastal landscapes and beach vacations. But have you ever paused to ponder where a wave originates, how far it travels, or why it forms in the first place? A wave ...
