Wave-induced mixing represents a critical process within the upper ocean, where the interplay of surface wave mechanics drives vertical transport of mass, energy and momentum. The resulting turbulence ...

More The breakthrough, published in Science, transforms how physicists can study fluid motion. By compressing the physics of ocean waves into a chip-scale experiment, the researchers can now capture ...

Researchers at the University of Queensland have made a microscopic ‘ocean’ on a silicon chip to miniaturise the study of wave dynamics. The miniature wave machine could lead to a number of key ...

Electron microscope image of the superfluid wave tank used in the experiments (blue) coupled to an optical fibre which brings laser light in and out of the device. The zoom-in shows the photonic ...
