Physicists and biomedical engineers unlocked new properties in capillary waves thanks to superhydrophobicity. Ripples, like ones produced by raindrops falling in a puddle, are also called capillary ...

Proof of gravitational waves came on Sept. 14, 2015, when two giant, L-shaped, 2-mile-long laser instruments, one set up in a swamp in Louisiana and the other in Hanford, Washington, detected a tiny ...

Key alignment: Randomly-oriented crystal samples do not reproduce the shear wave velocity jump at the D" discontinuity, while crystals oriented along the (001) slip plane of the material's lattice do.
