Turbulence can also occur in sound waves that propagate chaotically in certain media, such as superfluid helium. In the 1970s, Soviet scientists proposed that turbulence occurs when sound waves ...

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

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

How MS waves propagate in the magnetosphere is critical to understanding the global distribution of the waves, but it remains unclear. Although previous studies present that MS waves can be reflected ...

So-called Rayleigh–Bloch waves can release an enormous amount of energy that can damage technical systems under certain circumstances. They only exist below a precisely defined cut-off frequency; ...

The propagation and dissipation of typhoon-induced surface waves are vital to morphological evolution and related engineering within coastal and estuarine regions. An observation system was operated ...

The Anderson transition is a phase transition that occurs in disordered systems, which entails a shift from a diffusive state ...

A mantis shrimp's punch creates high-energy waves. Its exoskeleton is designed to absorb that energy, preventing cracking and tissue damage.
