Imagine standing by a lake and throwing a stone into the water. Waves spread out in circular patterns and can reflect at obstacles and boundaries. Researchers at the University of Regensburg, in ...

Surface wave seismology has emerged as a critical tool in the investigation of the Earth’s near‐surface structure. Dispersion analysis, which examines the frequency‐dependent velocity of surface waves ...

Bloch surface waves are electromagnetic modes confined to the interface of one‐dimensional photonic crystals, where a periodic arrangement of dielectric materials creates an optical band gap that ...

This analysis is based on seismic data from SEIS (Seismic Experiment for the Interior Structure), deployed from NASA's InSight lander that landed on Mars in 2018 (Fig. 1). This robotic lander is ...

Ocean waves possess enough energy to meet global energy needs multiple times over, offering a massive potential source of clean, baseload power. Recent scientific research explores the interaction of ...

Engineers have created a device that generates incredibly tiny, earthquake-like vibrations on a microchip—and it could transform future electronics. Using a new kind of “phonon laser,” the team can ...
