Twisting bars: the antenna could detect intermediate-sized binary black holes. (Courtesy: NASA) Physicists in Japan have developed a new kind of compact gravitational-wave detector that works by ...

A few months ago, we reported on a theoretical paper that discussed the potential advantages of a gravity wave detector based on a torsion bar, which the creators called TOBA. In the intervening time, ...

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in solar physics by providing the first direct evidence of small-scale torsional Alfvén waves in the sun's corona—elusive magnetic waves that scientists have ...

A wave is defined as a continuous movement that transmits energy through matter or space.Energy can be conveyed from its source by a wave. The material through which the wave goes does not move with ...

“There’s a regular rhythm to waves that calms us,” says British author Gavin Pretor-Pinney, explaining how he came to be fascinated by the science behind the movement of the ocean. In “The Wave ...
