Space weather poses a myriad of threats, ranging from satellite malfunctions to astronaut health. But what if we were able to develop more precise space weather predictions to steer satellites away ...

Understanding the fundamentals of wave propagation is key to electrodynamics, and Understanding the 1D Wave Equation in Electrodynamics explores how electromagnetic waves move through space and time.

The space surrounding our planet is full of restless charged particles and roiling electric and magnetic fields, which create waves around Earth. One type of wave, plasmaspheric hiss, is particularly ...

Ten years ago this month, gravitational waves were first detected on planet Earth. Now, gravitational waves had been something that scientists had thought existed going back to Albert Einstein. His ...

Surfers have taken to the ocean for centuries. Ancient Polynesian civilizations were surfing as far back as 2,000 BC, and there is evidence of wave riding in 12th-century Hawaii. Of course, back then, ...

Albert Einstein theorized that as heavy objects move through space and time, they create ripple effects in the fabric of our universe. Now an international team of scientists have detected new ...

A team of oceanographers has developed a new model for ocean wave energy, using an 1883 account of how a ship’s crew dumped oil into stormy seas and calmed the waves enough to save the crew of a ...

The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has successfully acquired funding for a new collaborative research center (CRC). The German Research Foundation (DFG) will finance the CRC "Wave Phenomena: ...
