It's September, and a small group of researchers in a pair of fishing vessels are sailing in some of the highest ice-free waves in the North Atlantic. Here, some 1,600 feet off the coast of ...

Topological wave structures are wave patterns that exhibit specific topological properties, or in other words, properties that remain unvaried under smooth deformations of a physical system. These ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. The highlight of the Great Escape trip wound up being their wave pool, ...

A wave the height of a four-story building was recorded off the coast of Vancouver Island, and scientists say it’s “the most extreme rogue wave ever recorded.” The 58-foot-tall giant, which appeared ...

Using the power of ocean waves, innovators from Boston, U.S., have developed a technology that can produce fresh water off-grid and without the costly infrastructure of desalination plants. This ...

An unusual kind of water wave can repeatedly toss a water droplet into the air thousands of times without breaking it. For the past decade, Nicolas Mujica at the University of Chile and his ...

Navigating ocean waves when your main swimming experience has taken place in the calm waters of pools or lakes is a bit like charging over rocky terrain on a mountain bike as a neighborhood ...
