One of the great joys in mathematics is the ability to use math to describe phenomena seen in the physical world, says UB mathematician Gino Biondini. With UB postdoctoral researcher Dionyssios ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. 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, ...

Journal of Nonlinear Waves is the home for the field of nonlinear wave phenomena, broadly defined. It publishes authoritative articles on theoretical and computational aspects of nonlinear waves ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge have demonstrated a new way to control radiation in the terahertz range—an often-overlooked part of the electromagnetic spectrum—with ...

Researchers have mathematically elucidated how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. A novel equation was derived to describe the travel of ...

Dynamic control of terahertz (THz) waves at-will with an ultracompact device is important for THz technologies in biomedical imaging, telecommunications, detection, and beyond. However, tunable THz ...

When Walter Craig saw the images of the devastating 2004 Boxing Day Indian Ocean tsunami he felt compelled to act. So he grabbed a pencil and envelope and started calculating. A little more than a ...

This story was originally published in UCSB’s The Current. It was an earworm that lasted four dozen years, but it wasn’t a jingle, it was an algorithm. An equation George Legrady came across in 1986 ...

Dispersive shock waves (DSWs) represent a class of nonlinear wave phenomena in which phase dispersion, rather than viscosity or dissipation, governs the evolution of abrupt changes in a medium. Unlike ...
