WIRED is where tomorrow is realized. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is ...

Near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) are crucial energy sources for deep-sea mixing, but the origins of deep NIWs have remained largely unknown. A research team led by Prof. Wang Fan from the Institute ...

Kinetic energy is the energy of a moving object. Any object that is moving has kinetic energy. The amount of kinetic energy of an object has depends on its:. mass; speed of the object. A car of ...

When an electron is ejected from a metal surface it has kinetic energy. The amount of kinetic energy the electron has depends on the difference between the energy of the photon and the work ...

That’s wind! Once gusts reach about seven to eleven mph, the rotor of a wind turbine can capture the wind’s kinetic energy. A rotor usually has three massive blades, each on average about as ...

Wang Fan from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS) has made advancements in understanding the generation mechanisms of deep near-inertial kinetic energy (NIKE).
