Researchers from Australia’s University of Queensland have made a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip to miniaturise the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ’s School of Mathematics and ...

Electron microscope image of the superfluid wave tank used in the experiments (blue) coupled to an optical fibre which brings laser light in and out of the device. The zoom-in shows the photonic ...

Recent advances in machine learning have revolutionised the prediction of wave heights, a critical parameter in coastal engineering, maritime navigation and renewable energy optimisation. Researchers ...

The surfing competition for the Paris 2024 Olympics will not be staged at any of France’s famous mainland surf spots. Not at Biarritz or Anglet or even the thumping sand-bottom beach break at Hossegor ...

Scientists have discovered that ocean waves may become far more extreme and complex than previously imagined. The new study, published in Nature today, reveals that under specific conditions, where ...
