Running shipwreck simulations backwards helps identify dangerous waves
Big waves in fierce storms have long been the focus of ship designers in simulations testing new vessels. view more (2007-10-02)
'Trapped wave' caused unexpected Dennis surge, scientists say FSU
When Hurricane Dennis passed North Florida on July 10, 2005, it caused a 10-foot storm surge in some areas along Apalachee Bay - about 3 to 4 feet more than forecasted- that couldn't be explained only by the local winds that conventionally drive storm surge. view more (2006-10-10)
New study finds shock-wave therapy for unhealed fractured bones
When fractured bones fail to heal, a serious complication referred to as "nonunion" can develop. This occurs when the process of bone healing is interrupted or stalled. view more (2009-11-03)
On the crest of wave energy
The ocean is a potentially vast source of electric power, yet as engineers test new technologies for capturing it, the devices are plagued by battering storms, limited efficiency, and the need to be tethered to the seafloor. view more (2009-11-20)
Breakthrough Computer Chip Lithography Method Developed at RIT
A new computer chip lithography method under development at Rochester Institute of Technology has led to imaging capabilities beyond that previously thought possible. view more (2006-02-13)
New lens device will shrink huge light waves to pinpoints
Manipulating light waves, or electromagnetic radiation, has led to many technologies, from cameras to lasers to medical imaging machines that can see inside the human body. view more (2007-07-13)
Shock wave therapy for kidney stones linked to increased risk of diabetes, hypertension
Mayo Clinic researchers are sounding an alert about side effects of shock wave lithotripsy: in a research study, they found this common treatment for kidney stones to significantly increase the risk for diabetes and hypertension later in life. view more (2006-04-10)
GEO600 starts continuous search for Gravitational Waves
The joint German-British Gravitational Wave Detector GEO600 has now entered an 18-month run of continuous measurement. view more (2006-06-27)
Brain wave changes in adolescence signal reorganization of the brain
Brain wave changes in adolescence are related to age, not sexual maturation, and may be associated with one of the brain's major reorganization projects: synaptic pruning, a new study finds. view more (2006-12-07)
NRL measures record wave during Hurricane Ivan
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory-Stennis Space Center (NRL-SSC) measured a record-size ocean wave when the eye of Hurricane Ivan passed over NRL moorings deployed last May in the Gulf of Mexico. view more (2005-08-05)
Chronic fatigue syndrome impairs a person's slow wave activity during sleep
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has been associated with altered amounts of slow wave sleep, which could reflect reduced electroencephalograph (EEG) activity and impaired sleep regulation. view more (2007-05-01)
Recent developments in the mathematical theory of water waves (Royal Society Philosophical Transactions A)
The last decade has seen vigorous activity in mathematical theory for the motion of water waves by several independent international research groups, and in 2001 a workshop on mathematical problems of nonlinear hydrodynamic waves was held at the conference centre at Oberwolfach, Southern Germany. The aim of this workshop was to bring these groups... view more... (2002-09-10)
Through a light, darkly
A British physicist has come up with a way to reveal the shifting and shining colours that form in the dark spots where light waves interfere with each other. The patterns await experimental demonstration but computer-generated images are already illuminating new aspects of light that had until now remained in the shadows. When two waves meet... view more... (2002-10-18)
Making monster waves
Rogue waves-giant waves that spring up suddenly and tower over the seas around them-have inspired physicists to look for an analogue in light. view more (2009-10-20)
Catch the wave
MIT researchers are working with Portuguese colleagues to design a pilot-scale device that will capture significantly more of the energy in ocean waves than existing systems, and use it to power an electricity-generating turbine. view more (2008-12-17)
Nano-signals get a boost from magnetic spin waves
Researchers have figured out how nanoscale microwave transmitters gain greater signal power than the sum of their parts-a finding that will help in the design of nano-oscillator arrays for possible use as transmitters and receivers in cell phones, radar systems, or computer chips. view more (2006-09-01)
Alcoholism's effect on sleep persists during long periods of sobriety
A study in the Oct.1 issue of the journal Sleep shows that long-term alcoholism affects sleep even after long periods of abstinence, and the pattern of this effect is similar in both men and women. view more (2009-10-01)
Understanding the migration of cancer cells
Lamellipodia are veil-shaped protrusions of the plasma membrane, that can turn into upward-curled ruffles if they fail to adhere to the substrate. view more (2008-06-23)
Huge waves that hit Reunion Island tracked from space
The origin and movement of waves reaching up to 11 metres that devastated France's Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean on Saturday evening have been detected with ESA's Envisat satellite.

Sound Filters Light
Russian researchers have developed a small, smart and tolerant to vibrations spectrometer, which is equally reliable in the outer space and in oceanic depths. The development was performed with financial support from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) and the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE). The... view more... (2004-11-01)
