Schrödinger Win for Extreme Waves
Researchers create the most realistic rogue waves to date, showing dynamics that follow those expected for extreme waves in more idealized systems. Continue reading
Wind Farms Perform Under Pressure
Simulations show that negative wind shear can reduce the power output of wind farms. Continue reading
Water Droplets Shape-Shift on the ISS
Experiments in zero gravity show how a static droplet oscillates on a vibrating hydrophobic surface. Continue reading
Twinkle, Twinkle, Star No More
New forecasting approaches could help users of ground-based telescopes predict when the atmosphere will most blur incoming light, allowing them to better remove the effect. Continue reading
