Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. The highlight of the Great Escape trip wound up being their wave pool, ...

Physicists have accomplished a quantum leap in light research. They have managed to capture the behavior of extremely short laser pulses during focusing by means of very high spatial and temporal ...

Physics fans are a lot like surfers. Both think waves are really fun. For surfers, it’s all about having a good time. For physicists, it’s about understanding some of nature’s most important physical ...

We explore electromagnetic wave properties and the electromagnetic spectrum. Unit 6 Segment F: Electromagnetic Wave Properties We explore electromagnetic wave properties and the electromagnetic ...

I've never been surfing—but I'm willing to give it a try. I would not, however, be interested in attempting to surf a massive wave like this one off the coast of Portugal. That's a pass for me. Of ...

Scientists are engineering electromagnetic waves to retrace their temporal paths, a breakthrough in wave physics. This 'time reversal' doesn't involve historical travel but reverses a wave's sequence, ...
