Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also ...

Wave or Particle – Why Not Both? We now know the photons that make up light are not waves like those on the ocean when behaving in a wave-like manner.

Most aquatic species sense sound via particle motion, yet few studies on underwater acoustic ecology have included measurements of particle motion. In response, researchers have developed a user ...

His idea was that the phase relationships (comparing the wave shapes) between acoustic particle motion and sound pressure could be used to solve the 180° ambiguity problem.

It is hoped that this research represents a major step towards a quantitative understanding of the wave-particle interactions and energy transfer between particle populations in space plasma.

Wave–particle duality is a concept in particle physics that ascribes two seemingly contradictory traits to a single object. Think of it this way: If you had never seen a seahorse before, you might ...

The system also produces a directional power spectrum of the ocean waves, a map of where the wave energy is coming from and at what wave period. This wave spectrum data is fed to the ship motion ...

Computational modeling could improve how scientists and planners understand and prepare for natural disasters on our coasts ...

Take a deep dive into the science of ocean waves. Learn what creates waves and when you can expect them to crash.
