Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. The highlight of the Great Escape trip wound up being their wave pool, ...

Introduction Have you ever noticed seagulls bobbing up and down on the ocean? You might have also seen surfers catch a wave that takes them to shore. Maybe you have floated on a lake, going up and ...

The control of matter motion at liquid–gas interfaces opens an opportunity to create two-dimensional materials with remotely tunable properties. In analogy with optical lattices used in ultra-cold ...

Physics fans are a lot like surfers. Both think waves are really fun. For surfers, it’s all about having a good time. For physicists, it’s about understanding some of nature’s most important physical ...

Scientists are engineering electromagnetic waves to retrace their temporal paths, a breakthrough in wave physics. This 'time reversal' doesn't involve historical travel but reverses a wave's sequence, ...
