When Feynman discussed the two-path interferometer in his famous lectures 1, he noted that quantum systems (quantons) display the behaviour of both waves and particles and that there is a sort of ...

Dissipative wave equations constitute an extensive class of partial differential equations wherein damping terms play a pivotal role in governing the long-term dynamics of the system. Recent ...

A powerful 2025 Kuril-Kamchatka earthquake generated a Pacific-wide tsunami, captured by NASA's SWOT satellite. These unprecedented high-resolution i ...

Quantum delocalization In an artistic rendering, a silica nanoparticle is held by laser light. The uncertainty in the particle’s position spreads and recompresses (blue trajectories), illustrating ...

Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.

How it works: illustration of the quantum twisting microscope in action. Electrons tunnel from the probe (inverted pyramid at the top) to the sample (bottom) in several places at once (green vertical ...

New research has unravelled the mystery of how microscopic cilia coordinate to move and propel marine creatures through water. Cilia are tiny, hair-like protrusions found in many organisms, including ...

So I have a 2D grid of vertices, each with a Z value representing the displacement at that point. Collectively, these form waves on the surface.<BR><BR>I initialize this Z-map to all zeros (state of ...

We've all seen sports spectators performing "the wave," where crowds of people stand up then sit back down to simulate a wave moving through the stadium. Well, schools of a certain fish have been ...
