Researchers manipulated water waves to move ping pong balls with a level of precision that seems straight out of a sci-fi movie. Reading time 3 minutes Imagine hopping onto a large floatie in a lake ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

In a nutshell: Researchers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have demonstrated the ability to manipulate water waves, allowing them to precisely control objects floating on the ...

Recently, the National Science Review published the study of Huaping Wang's group at Zhejiang University online. Inspired by electromagnetic metamaterials, the research team designed and fabricated a ...

When two or more light waves interact with one another, they result in the formation of different interference patterns. British physicist Thomas Young first demonstrated and explained these patterns ...
