A team of international scientists co-led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have discovered a ...

No, the lake didn't suddenly shrink, nor did the city beyond the horizon teleport closer. The illusion is called a "superior mirage" — a phenomenon where shifting temperatures over the water bends ...

Waves and water are inseparable—but what if you could manipulate the waves to move floating objects? A team of international ...

Light was long considered to be a wave, exhibiting the phenomenon of interference in which ripples like those in water waves ...

For centuries, the reflections of light or sound have been theorized. Scientists have always thought of another variable: ...

brought new wave phenomena to light. Under water, an extremely water-repellent material known as a superhydrophobic surface, holds a plastron -- a gas layer only micrometres thick -- in place.

Scientists often use waves to control elements of their experiments. Optical tweezers, for example, use waves of light to trap and manipulate individual molecules, while sound waves can be used to ...
