A large number of things—some desirable, some not—can happen to a radio wave on its way from one place to another. In the simplest case two antennas (a transmitter and a receiver) are located so that ...

The study of wave propagation in viscoelastic and piezoelectric materials is pivotal in advancing modern sensor and actuator technologies. Viscoelastic materials, which display both viscous flow and ...

Researchers from Skoltech have published a paper in the journal Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena presenting an analysis of steady propagating combustion waves—from slow flames to supersonic detonation ...

Figure 1Schematic of polariton propagations under real frequency and synthesized complex frequency excitation. While polariton waves at real frequencies have limited propagation distance, combining ...

Deep-water wave groups are known to be unstable and become rogue. Such unstable wave groups propagate independently regardless of interference. Results seem to support the concept of an unperturbed ...

Researchers have pioneered the use of parallel computing on graphics cards to simulate acoustic turbulence. This type of simulation, which previously required a supercomputer, can now be performed on ...

A new study has found high frequency propagating activity patterns in the motor cortex that contain details of upcoming movement -- information that could lead to the development of better ...

The first theoretical models of the propagation of an electromagnetic field in a waveguide date back to the second half of the 19th century (Hertz, Debye, Rayleigh). The technological fallout for long ...

Research shows that external impulses in non-reciprocal optical solitary waves can exceed expected momentum responses, ...

Nicholas G. Hatsopoulos, Ph.D., Professor of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at the University of Chicago, has long been interested in space. Specifically, the physical space occupied by the brain.
