Fluid flowing along the wave pushes back on the ball, pushing it away from the sheet. The result could help scientists better understand how cells and microbes move through the human body. view more ...

We propose that matter is not made of particles or waves, as was long thought, but – more fundamentally – that matter is made of fragments of energy. From Five to One ...

The history of science is marked by an intense debate between the particle and wave theories of light. Isaac Newton was the main advocate of the particle theory, while James Clerk Maxwell and his ...

Now though, a team of researchers have designed a system to produce water waves that precisely interfere with each other — giving rise to 3D structures that can trap and manipulate particles.

We propose that matter is not made of particles or waves, as was long thought, but – more fundamentally – that matter is made of fragments of energy.

Background Sound is a great example of a wave that propagates, or travels, much like ripples in a pond do. In both cases kinetic energy flows through matter without permanently displacing the ...

Wave-generated 'white hole' boosts hawking radiation theory, physicists find Date: January 20, 2011 Source: University of British Columbia Summary: A team of physicists and engineers has designed ...

So, researchers are devising ways to remove them and to stop them at their source. Today, a team reports a two-stage device made with steel tubes and pulsing sound waves that removes most of the ...
