The study of earthquakes called Seismology, relies on the fact that different materials within the Earth react differently to ...

Surface wave seismology has emerged as a critical tool in the investigation of the Earth’s near‐surface structure. Dispersion analysis, which examines the frequency‐dependent velocity of surface waves ...

Imagine standing by a lake and throwing a stone into the water. Waves spread out in circular patterns and can reflect at obstacles and boundaries. Researchers at the University of Regensburg, in ...

Earthquake damage isn't solely determined by magnitude; factors like depth, local geology, and infrastructure resilience play ...

Bloch surface waves are electromagnetic modes confined to the interface of one‐dimensional photonic crystals, where a periodic arrangement of dielectric materials creates an optical band gap that ...

A team of researchers has for the first time successfully used lasers to generate guided sound waves on the surface of a microchip. These acoustic waves, akin to the surface waves produced during an ...

Engineers have created a device that generates incredibly tiny, earthquake-like vibrations on a microchip—and it could transform future electronics. Using a new kind of “phonon laser,” the team can ...

Ocean waves possess enough energy to meet global energy needs multiple times over, offering a massive potential source of clean, baseload power. Recent scientific research explores the interaction of ...
