Harry Friebel, surfer, ocean engineer and research assistant for the Stevens Institute of Technology responds: “Answering a question like this is highly complicated — to say the least. There are just ...

MIAMI - For the first time researchers directly measured the speed of a wave located 80 meters below the ocean's surface from a single satellite image. The new technique developed by researchers from ...

Physicists and biomedical engineers unlocked new properties in capillary waves thanks to superhydrophobicity. Ripples, like ones produced by raindrops falling in a puddle, are also called capillary ...

When we think of advanced surfing, we’ll often point to bigger surf as some kind of measuring stick. Ooooo look, she’s riding double/triple overhead waves! She must rip!! Can I tell you, at some level ...

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, ...

Ripples, like ones produced by raindrops falling in a puddle, are also called capillary waves. Studied since antiquity, they have garnered considerable interest in modern science due to their ability ...
