In a groundbreaking development, researchers have constructed a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip, enabling them to simulate quantum wave interactions at a scale never seen before. This innovative ...

Converting the power of water into energy is nothing new. Using ocean waves is. The power of the ocean could soon be used to power homes in the U.S. as scientists prepare to test an untapped form of ...

Satellites have captured the world’s tallest ocean waves ever from space, breaking all records as reported on October 15, 2025. These observations include the largest ocean storm waves ever seen from ...

During recent storms, satellites recorded ocean waves averaging nearly 20 meters high—as tall as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the largest ever measured from space. Moreover, satellite data now ...

Richard Aster receives funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation. As oceans waves rise and fall, they apply forces to the sea floor below and generate seismic waves. These seismic waves are so ...

The best perk of Alberto Maspero’s job, he says, is the view from his window. Situated on a hill above the ancient port city of Trieste, Italy, his office at the International School for Advanced ...

When an ocean wave falls, the ground shakes. Now, those wobbles are getting bigger. Stormier seas and larger ocean swell in recent decades are pounding Earth’s seafloor with more force, sending larger ...
