Scientists have unlocked a previously unseen behavior of acoustic waves, opening up new possibilities for cutting-edge ...

Mantis shrimp withstand repeated high-impact forces without structural damage. Researchers discovered the shrimp's clubs feature a protective pattern that controls how stress waves travel through its ...

“The periodic region plays a crucial role in selectively filtering out high-frequency shear waves, which are particularly ...

Mantis shrimp are colorful creatures with an incredibly powerful punch — comparable to a .22 caliber bullet. This punch is ...

It looked and suddenly felt like a very bad place to be. The ocean swells made the ship’s stern lift high into the air five ...

Understanding Earth’s Core Earth's core is the heart of our planet; it's a fiery furnace where temperatures soar higher than ...

Researchers at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, led by Wolf Singer, have made a new discovery in ...

"Instead, we propose that the brain uses waves to perform computations in a highly distributed and parallelized manner. The interference patterns produced by such wave-based responses facilitate a ...

The sounds that make up humpback whale songs follow some of the same statistical rules seen in human languages, which may be because of how they are learned ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves to turn them into ...

So-called Rayleigh–Bloch waves can release enormous amount of energy that can damage technical systems under certain ...
