sound waves cause air particles to vibrate back and forth ripples cause water particles to vibrate up and down Waves cause a disturbance of the medium through which they travel. This allows them to ...

As many believe, the Big Bang started our universe. But not everyone is aware that the early world is nothing like what we can see these days. There's no stars, planets, galaxies or nebulas. For a bit ...

The merger of two black holes can set off vibrations in the resulting black hole. RIKEN researchers have analyzed these ...

Bloch oscillations are periodic oscillations of quantum particles in a repeating energy "landscape" (e.g., a crystal lattice) ...

Super-oscillation is a counterintuitive phenomenon describing localized fast variations of functions and fields that happen at frequencies higher than the highest Fourier component of their spectra.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an ...

New research shows that slow oscillations in the brain, which occur during deep sleep and anesthesia, are guided by neuronal excitability rather than structural anatomy.

Scientists have recently found that the temperatures in Saturn's equatorial atmosphere oscillate with a period of about 15 Earth years. The temperature swing's signal was detected by analyzing ...

Scientists have created a new class of laser beam that appears to violate long-held laws of light physics. These new beams, which the team calls “spacetime wave packets,” follow different rules of ...

( Nanowerk News) By applying a versatile mathematical technique to black holes, RIKEN cosmologists have uncovered new ...
