In a major development, researchers have created a transparent device that can harvest energy from both radio waves and sunlight to power a wide range of wireless devices.

Measurements of S0 mode Lamb waves using a high-speed polarization camera to detect damage in transparent materials during non-contact excitation based on a laser-induced plasma shock wave.

Researchers have found a way to make materials that are normally opaque to sound waves completely transparent. Their system involves placing acoustic relays at strategic locations so that sound ...

A team of engineers from Michigan State University propose the use of transparent solar panels. This would greatly reduce US fossil-fuel reliance.

Light is an electromagnetic wave that rips through space, interacting with everything it encounters. In space, light meets little. However, a dense material like glass slows light as the wave ...

New research suggests that sound waves can influence cellular activity, including stopping the development of fat.

Sea surface temperatures in 2024 broke records and about a quarter of the world’s oceans are experiencing temperatures that qualify as a marine heat wave.

Scientists say they've found evidence of a very long gravitational wave that could open a window onto supermassive black holes — and perhaps even other extreme, unseen objects in the universe.

The biggest, baddest waves aren’t born that way. Winds at sea generate waves that average ten feet high; during storms, 30-footers are common. But what creates waves the size of office buildings ...

A series of powerful storms in the Pacific Ocean are driving towering waves into the California coastline, triggering flooding and posing a significant risk to people and structures along the coast.
