A small team of astrophysicists at the University of California, Los Angeles, working with colleagues from the University of ...

When it comes reading forecast graphs, swell period is definitely the magic number. Indeed, for a forecaster, explaining the implications of swell period is a bit like the birds and the bees – of ...

Wave speed is a measure of how quickly the wave travels from its source. Its value is the same as the distance covered by a wave in one second. Speed is measured in metres per second \(m\,s^{-1}\) and ...

This seems to be the most common discussion regarding the recent Red Bull Stratos Jump. Unless you have been living under a rock lately, you have probably seen the awesome jump from 128,000 feet. Here ...

Figure 1: Experiment geometry and paths taken by the seismic waves through the Earth. Figure 2: Data, velocity profile in the outer core and self-compression profile using the velocity profile. Figure ...

Waves in water are transverse. This means that the vibrations causing the waves are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. As this little boat demonstrates, you can see that the waves are ...

Harry Friebel, surfer, ocean engineer and research assistant for the Stevens Institute of Technology responds: “Answering a question like this is highly complicated — to say the least. There are just ...

Seismological research is directly related to the incubation, occurrence, and evolution of earthquakes. Scientists seek to reveal potential earthquake precursors by monitoring the stress state of ...

A recent technical paper titled “Factors determining bond wave speed in wafer bonding” was published by researcher at Yokohama National University, Tokyo Electron Kyushu Limited and ANVOS Analytics.
