There are many glorious science-based terms when it comes to surfing. We all talk about swells, of course, the underwater energy that creates a breaking wave. But we'll look at swell angles and ...

Figure 1: Schematics of the degenerate 4WM process on a thin nonlinear film. In this Letter, we experimentally demonstrate nonlinear optical negative refraction in thin metallic nanostructures. We use ...

Refraction is described and students learn to draw diagrams of refracted waves. Refraction is described and students learn to draw diagrams of refracted waves. They also learn to describe diffraction ...

Google Earth provides a cornucopia of exotic images of our planet taken from above. For the most part, the focus of attention is on the land and the cities, roads and natural formations that it ...

When looking at a surf forecast, there are several key factors to take into consideration, including swell direction, swell height, tide times, wind speed and wind direction. If you can understand ...
