No space-based gravitational wave observatory exists…yet. But that hasn’t stopped a team of astronomers from demonstrating how the gravitational universe might look, using simulated data to create a ...

You’ve probably heard the news that’s rocking the science world: yesterday, researchers from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) announced that they had detected ...

A clear visualization of a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave and how the electric and magnetic fields rotate in space. Perfect for understanding polarization concepts in electrodynamics.

Trapping and controlling electrons in bilayer graphene quantum dots yields a promising platform for quantum information technologies. Researchers have now achieved the first direct visualization of ...

It is known that in the space surrounding the Earth (the space up to the geostationary orbit altitude, called Geospace), there are natural trapped charged particles, Van Allen belts, that may affect ...

When you think of visualizing sound, you might think of the iTunes visualizers you used to play with years ago, or perhaps a waveform that shows the volume of a digital audio file comes to mind. The ...
