A remote-controlled stereo vision system now under development could revolutionize the science of watching how, where and when waves tear up coastlines, say researchers. Storm swells that pound at ...

How big do hurricane waves grow? Hurricane Sandy gave us a good idea. It was the largest Atlantic Hurricane on record when it put out 32-foot waves measured at a New York buoy. Direct measurement from ...

An international team of astronomers has detected a faint signal of gravitational waves reverberating through the universe. By using dead stars as a giant network of gravitational wave detectors, the ...

MIT engineers have devised a new, noninvasive way to measure the stiffness of living cells using acoustic waves. Their technique allows them to monitor single cells over several generations and ...

On January 17, 2018, Hugo Vau was in the right spot at the right time to do what no other surfer had done before: Ride a wave measuring more than 100 feet in height. To the surfing world, that barrier ...

Researchers in Europe have developed a technique for obtaining accurate laser-based measurements of objects hidden behind complex scattering structures. They say that their mathematical formula, which ...

Researchers have demonstrated the ability to both excite and detect spin waves in a two-dimensional graphene magnet, but they couldn't measure any of the wave's specific properties. Now, researchers ...

The open ocean can get fierce and wild. There, whipped into a frenzy, ocean swells and troughs can create walls of water that dwarf our puny seafaring vessels, and wreak peril on the humans brave ...

Three physicists from RIKEN have illustrated the ability of an ultrafast form of transmission electron microscopy to quantify sound waves in nanostructures. A cutaway of the ultrafast transmission ...

A study of people who suffer from chronic pain has resulted in groundbreaking findings. For the first time, researchers say they were able to use brain waves to predict how much pain someone was in.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork)-- There has been a potential breakthrough for people suffering from severe depression, PTSD, and other severe mental problems. It's a faster and more accurate way to get patients ...
