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, ...

Converting wave motion into electricity holds enormous potential as a renewable energy source, but a lack of standardized prototyping is holding back technological development. A research team led by ...

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 ...

Physicists have accomplished a quantum leap in light research. They have managed to capture the behavior of extremely short laser pulses during focusing by means of very high spatial and temporal ...

Covering 71 per cent of the Earth’s surface, oceans are one of the world’s most valuable and yet largest untapped renewable ...

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 ...

The mmWave sensor, mounted inside the linac bore above the isocentre, measures displacement through obstructions including (a) a gown, (b) alpha cradle and (c) face ...

While the concept of time travel has long captured public imagination, modern physics actually approaches time in a much more subtle manner. Instead of moving people or objects through history, ...
