The first ever circular wave pool opened for initial testing this week. Contrary to expectations, the facility is not in an area known for its interest in surfing. Rather, the first continuous man ...

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, ...

Forget the gentle waves of a sunny day at the beach. The ocean is a terrifying place, capable of displaying fantastical power. Now, a new analysis of the physics behind waves reveals they can reach ...

Adam Fincham is trying to make waves with a food container full of agave and an avocado. Internal waves, specifically—the kind that exist in stratified fluid. Fincham is standing at a metal chef’s ...

Researchers have developed a powerful computational framework that shows how carefully optimized nanotube shapes can amplify ...

Researchers studying wave breaking have found that axisymmetric 'spike waves' can far exceed limits that were previously thought to dictate the maximum height of ocean waves. Researchers studying wave ...

Reservoir computing (RC) stacks a few benefits over other artificial neural networks, such as the reservoir that gives this technique its name. The reservoir functions mainly to nonlinearly transform ...
