A black hole is not sitting inside a lab in Manhattan, but some of its strangest physics just helped shape a tabletop experiment there. For decades, physicists have wondered whether waves could steal ...

A major breakthrough in quantum technology has turned magnons, tiny magnetic waves once considered too short-lived for ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have managed to make sound waves travel only in one direction. In the future, this method could also be used in technical applications with electromagnetic waves. Water, ...

Black holes are some of the most mysterious objects in the universe, but they aren’t always silent. When two black holes are close enough to each other, they spiral towards one another, eventually ...

Waves pick up information from their environment through which they propagate. A theory of information carried by waves has now been developed at TU Wien—with astonishing results that can be utilized ...

Quantum physics has a long history of producing results that seem impossible until someone finds a way to watch them happen ...

Once thought to be sailors’ myths, rogue waves gained credibility after a towering 80-foot wall of water struck the Draupner oil platform in 1995. New research shows that these extreme waves don’t ...
