One particularly well-known fact about the moon is that it doesn't have much of a magnetosphere to speak of. There's no blanket to protect it from the solar wind ravaging its surface, blowing away its ...

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that ...

When the densest objects in the universe collide and merge, the violence sets off ripples, in the form of gravitational waves ...

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 ...

Today, organisations such as Unesco, the UN body for education, science and culture, are grappling with how schools and universities can respond to rising misinformation and declining trust in ...

Here you will find links to the BBC's best science, technology, engineering and maths resources for primary and secondary ...

When you think about cancer, the first thing that comes to mind probably isn’t sleep quality. But when Lara Smith’s sister was diagnosed with the disease more than a decade ago, the steep decline in ...

A team of researchers have extended Berry’s well-known geometric-dynamic decomposition from the wave-evolution phase to a distinct class of wave scattering problems Wave scattering events can now be ...

Researchers have directly observed torsional Alfvén waves twisting through the Sun’s corona — magnetic waves first predicted over 80 years ago. Captured using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, ...

Researchers from Australia’s University of Queensland have made a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip to miniaturise the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ’s School of Mathematics and ...

When I began my master’s program in cognitive science, an electrical engineering professor told us—rather arrogantly—that the soul is nothing but neurons firing. “You’re deluded if you think otherwise ...
