Switch on the vibration generator and adjust the wooden bridge until stationary waves can be clearly observed. Measure the length of as many half wavelengths (loops) as possible, divide by the ...

To calculate it manually, observe a fixed point and count how many waves pass this point in a measured time, for example 30 seconds. Record the frequency in Hertz. Hertz is a measure of how often ...

"If you're using a counter, you have to define zero. You start counting at some point," physicist Marta Berholts from the ...

There are a number of ways to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. Most scales are based on the amplitude of seismic waves recorded on seismometers. These scales account for the distance between ...

"This is the first time we've been able to measure wave heights at such high spatial resolution over such a big area," ...

The waves were generated by an offshore storm related to an atmospheric river that hit the Pacific Northwest over the weekend.

Schematic of the monolayer self-assembly process studied by the NIST/NCSU team. The silicon substrate is approximately 1 x 5 cm in dimensions. The source (left) is a mixture of organosilane (OS ...

Scientists from the United Kingdom and Australia have built an experimental setup to measure solar power loss due to wave motion in deployments of floating PV (FPV) panels. Based on their results ...

Because cameras and other optical equipment are blinded by dense dust clouds, the instrument uses millimeter-wave radar in a ...

Scientists at Malta's Institute for Sustainable Energy have developed a simulation tool to assess the effect of wave response motion in offshore floating PV installations. “The simulation tool ...

Analysing brain waves allows for faster security checks, but the challenge is making it as accurate in the live environment as it is in the lab, says Gatwick Airport CIO Cathal Corcoran Gatwick ...
