Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. But to some extent this goes to Englehardt's point, because the ...

Figure 1: The WEBTOP Waves module simulating the interference of the waves in a ripple tank caused by two small oscillating plungers at the back end of the tank. The last 20 years has been a ...

As high school students see in experiments with water waves, and we observe and use with light waves in many optical devices, interference is a fundamental property associated with wave-like behavior.

Complementarity A new twist on the double-slit experiment. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Andrey VP) One of the most counterintuitive concepts in physics – the idea that quantum objects are complementary, ...

Researchers from Australia’s University of Queensland have made a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip to miniaturise the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ’s School of Mathematics and ...

Achieving sub-second 3D printing, DISH combines wave-optics modeling and angular illumination to improve resolution and depth ...
