For the first time, physicists in Italy have created a 'lump soliton': an extremely stable packet of light waves which can ...

The Politecnico di Milano has created the first integrated and fully tunable device based on spin waves, opening up new ...

A recent preprint claims that we may someday be able to create gravitational waves in a lab. Through the use of “twisted” light, we could create powerful, high-frequency waves in a controlled setting.

As drones survey forests, robots navigate warehouses and sensors monitor city streets, more of the world's decision-making is ...

Physicists have finally confirmed a phenomenon that sounds like pure science fiction: waves that appear to bounce off a sudden change in time rather than a surface in space. The effect, known as a ...

Protons can surf some truly gnarly waves. A new experiment suggests that the subatomic particles can be accelerated by a process akin to surfers catching waves. The protons get a speed boost not from ...

On May 24, scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) began an 18-month campaign to detect the most distant collisions between black holes and neutron stars ever ...

Over two decades ago, a rogue wave, documented by scientific instruments, struck the Draupner oil platform in the North Sea. British researchers have attempted to ...
