World's fastest transistor approaches goal of terahertz device
Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have again broken their own speed record for the world's fastest transistor. With a frequency of 845 gigahertz, their latest device is approximately 300 gigahertz faster than transistors built by other research groups, and approaches the... view more (2006-12-12)

UCLA engineering researchers capture optical 'rogue waves'
Maritime folklore tells tales of giant "rogue waves" that can appear and disappear without warning in the open ocean. Also known as "freak waves," these ominous monsters have been described by mariners for ages and have even appeared prominently in many legendary literary works,... view more (2007-12-13)

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... view more (2002-10-18)

Archive Trawl Gives Bison Three Decades Of Solar Music
Scientists in Birmingham have scoured the archives and put together a complete archive of helioseismic data for nearly three solar cycles. The results from reprocessing the data will shed light on the link between helioseismology, the study of sound waves resonating within the Sun, and solar... view more (2005-03-30)

Systems for prevention of drowsiness at the wheel
The device, which analyses the brain waves of the driver, has been designed by the students at the Public University of Navarre and presented at the XVIII Technical Seminar on Automotion.   view more (2004-11-29)

Taming Tiny, Unruly Waves for Nano Optics
Nanoscale devices present a unique challenge to any optical technology - there's just not enough room for light to travel in a straight line.   view more (2007-10-09)

International Dawn Chorus Day - Sunday 2nd May 2004
As nature lovers all over the world wake up to enjoy the enthusiastic sounds of birdsongs on International Dawn Chorus Day on 2 May, scientists at British Antarctic Survey's (BAS) Halley Research Station will listen to a very different Dawn Chorus. Each morning, as the Earth and its enveloping... view more (2004-04-29)

Long heat waves boost hospital admissions
Summer heat waves significantly increase pressure on hospitals, according to research published in the online open access journal, BMC Public Health.   view more (2007-08-09)

New discovery at Jupiter could help protect Earth-orbit satellites
Radio waves accelerate electrons within Jupiter's magnetic field in the same way as they do on Earth, according to new research published in Nature Physics this week. The discovery overturns a theory that has held sway for more than a generation and has important implications for protecting... view more (2008-03-10)

Scientists unveil mysteries of plasma jets on the Sun
Scientists at the University of Sheffield and Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Lab have solved a 127-year-old problem about the origin of supersonic plasma jets (spicules) which continuously shoot up from the Sun. Their findings are published in today's edition of Nature. Spicules, are jets... view more (2004-07-29)

'Tunable' network features coordinated frequency combs
A super stable fiber-optic network that can be tuned across a range of visible and near-infrared frequencies while synchronizing the oscillations of light waves from different sources has been demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).   view more (2007-05-14)

Mountain winds may create atmospheric hotspots
Rapidly fluctuating wind gusts blowing over mountains and hills can create "hotspots" high in the atmosphere and significantly affect regional air temperatures.   view more (2005-10-18)

Good cheese on a go slow
A new, more sensitive, way of deciding when cheese curd is ready to be cut from the whey is published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology. Researchers from the University Ibn Zohr in Morocco and Le Havre in France have demonstrated a new technique that... view more (2001-11-06)

Deep subsurface research to help understand earthquakes
From 8 to 20 October, TU Delft, "Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam" and The University of Utrecht will be conducting an experiment in the south of the Netherlands. The experiment is to find out how the deep subsurface (about 25 to 30 km under the surface) can be profiled with sound waves. It... view more (2001-10-01)

A mysterious change in the wave properties of electrons
The electrons of a perfect metallic surface move like free waves in a plane. Nevertheless, if atomic barriers are inserted, this may restrict their movement in one dimension, forming stationary waves such as those on the water surface in a bucket.   view more (2004-09-30)

'Listen, two black holes are clashing!'
MiniGRAIL: first spherical gravitational wave antenna in the world   view more (2004-11-26)

'Invisibility cloaks' could break sound barriers
Contrary to earlier predictions, Duke University engineers have found that a three-dimensional sound cloak is possible, at least in theory.   view more (2008-01-10)

ESA's 'shipping forecast' - from Titan!
ESA could be releasing its own marine weather report next January - but not for any Earthly ocean. Thanks to the NASA/ESA Cassini/Huygens mission, the first data about an extraterrestrial ocean may finally be received, ending 25 years of scientific speculation. There is a growing body of evidence... view more (2004-04-02)

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.... view more (2002-09-10)

Laser experiments reveal strange properties of superfluids
Princeton University electrical engineers are using lasers to shed light on the behavior of superfluids - strange, frictionless liquids that are difficult to create and study.   view more (2006-12-26)

Physicists uncover new solution for cosmic collisions
It turns out that our math teachers were right: being able to solve problems without a calculator does come in handy in the "real" world.   view more (2008-01-11)

Invisible waves shape continental slope
A class of powerful, invisible waves hidden beneath the surface of the ocean can shape the underwater edges of continents and contribute to ocean mixing and climate, researchers from The University of Texas at Austin have found.   view more (2008-07-01)
