A new study from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience shows how flickering light can cause hallucinations in our brain: it produces "standing waves" of brain activity. The work is published in ...

Researchers have found that a swirling water vortex can force opposing waves to form rotating lines of stillness across an ...

In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect, where electrons are affected by a magnetic ...

A standing wave may be formed when a wave is transmitted into one end of a transmission line and is reflected from the other end by an impedance mismatch. The Voltage standing wave ratio is the ratio ...

After a long work day, most of us happily collapse into a couch and binge-watch our favorite show. But Linden Gledhill, a Philadelphia-based pharmaceutical biochemist, retreats to his basement lab.

Lines of momentarily flat water extend outward and rotate, in the opposite direction to the flow of the vortex. The left video shows the pattern from the experiment, while the right video shows the ...
