There are many glorious science-based terms when it comes to surfing. We all talk about swells, of course, the underwater energy that creates a breaking wave. But we'll look at swell angles and ...

Figure 1: Schematics of the degenerate 4WM process on a thin nonlinear film. In this Letter, we experimentally demonstrate nonlinear optical negative refraction in thin metallic nanostructures. We use ...

Diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstruction in its path and will change direction, or wrap around it. In ocean waves, we see this occur when a wave encounters an object like a jetty and ...
