Explore how waves behave when they encounter a boundary on a string. This lesson in electrodynamics and wave physics explains how an incoming wave splits into reflected and transmitted waves depending ...

As the Olympics get going in earnest this week, not everyone's attention is focused on the host city, Paris. Surf fans are heading to Tahiti, which is half a world away in French Polynesia. Why? Well, ...

A new University of Mississippi study shows that some sound waves don't just move forward—they also move slightly to the side. Understanding this movement could help researchers develop more precise ...

Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

Some of the universe’s densest objects can twist, stretch, and resonate in ways that challenge even the most seasoned ...

A new milestone in nuclear physics has been achieved with the direct observation of three different deformations in the atomic nucleus of lead-190 (190Pb). These deformations, associated with three ...

New observations of a far-flung galaxy cluster have left a group of scientists stumped as they ponder whether they’ve discovered a new form of physics. In their new paper, researchers Tessa Vernstrom ...
