In this analogy, a vortex at the center of a water tank replaces the solenoid that creates a magnetic field in the quantum ...

Scientists used swirling water waves to simulate a quantum effect, uncovering rotating nodal patterns that could deepen understanding of hidden quantum phenomena.

Lines of momentarily flat water extend outward and rotate, in the opposite direction to the flow of the vortex. The left video shows the pattern from the experiment, while the right video shows the ...

Topological wave structures are wave patterns that exhibit specific topological properties, or in other words, properties that remain unvaried under smooth deformations of a physical system. These ...

A strange grid-like waves pattern appeared on the surface of Lake Michigan on January 13, 2026, captured on video and widely shared online. The phenomenon, known as square waves, is as visually ...

An unusual kind of water wave can repeatedly toss a water droplet into the air thousands of times without breaking it. For the past decade, Nicolas Mujica at the University of Chile and his ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Last year, onlookers observed a startling site on China’s Qiantang River: waves forming a grid-like pattern. Dubbed the “matrix tide,” this complex wave pattern was caused by the river ...

Researchers manipulated water waves to move ping pong balls with a level of precision that seems straight out of a sci-fi movie. Reading time 3 minutes Imagine hopping onto a large floatie in a lake ...

The National Science Review recently published a study by Huaping Wang's group at Zhejiang University. Inspired by electromagnetic metamaterials, the research team designed and fabricated a water wave ...
