Eight days ago, it rained over the western Pacific Ocean near Japan. There was nothing especially remarkable about this rain event, yet it made big waves twice. First, it disturbed the atmosphere in ...

The math of even the simplest ocean waves is notoriously uncooperative. A team of Italian mathematicians has made major ...

We can’t see it, but brains hum with electrical activity. Brain waves created by the coordinated firing of huge collections of nerve cells pinball around the brain. The waves can ricochet from the ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - The universe is full of waves, and they are not all created equally. Some are mechanical, and others are electromagnetic, even though they are all energy! Not all waves are created ...

A previously unknown class of wave has been discovered in the Antarctic atmosphere by a team of researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder in the US. These gravity, or buoyancy, waves appear ...

When electrical activity travels across the brain, it moves like ripples on a pond. The motion of these "brain waves," first observed in the 1920s, can now be seen more clearly than ever before thanks ...

Until recently, gravitational waves could have been a figment of Einstein’s imagination. Before they were detected, these ripples in spacetime existed only in the physicist’s general theory of ...

Researchers have, for the first time, identified neural signatures of explicit and implicit learning. Figuring out how to pedal a bike and memorizing the rules of chess require two different types of ...
