Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. The highlight of the Great Escape trip wound up being their wave pool, ...

Physicists in the US have observed an effect known as time reflection in an electromagnetic wave for the first time. They detected the phenomenon – the temporal counterpart of familiar spatial ...

In this video, we dive into the reflected and transmitted waves on a string—a fundamental concept in electrodynamics and wave physics. Using clear examples, we explore how waves behave when they ...

Wave function: the new concentrator could be coming to a coastline near you. (Courtesy: C Li et al/Phys. Rev. Lett. (2018)) A new device that can triple the amplitude of a water wave by concentrating ...
