The seismic signals from volcanoes are complex waves that result from multiple single waves that occur simultaneously. To help students understand how a complex wave is formed, tell them that in this ...

Surfers have long known to find larger waves on a rising tide. But scientific confusion remained as to how this surface wave interaction with ocean tides happens – until now. “We provide a theoretical ...

This image is a simulation of a kind of acoustic wave called a Rayleigh-Bloch wave. The stripes of light and dark areas represent the “peaks" and “troughs" of the waves and are shaped by their ...
