Researchers have discovered a new type of plasma oscillation that behaves unlike anything seen before. These plasma waves can move independently of the plasma’s physical properties, even faster than ...

These motions were measured by analyzing 10 years of observations from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Using computer models, the scientists have shown that the newly discovered oscillations ...

Astronomers have found a new way to detect one of the oldest features of our universe. These Baryon Acoustic Oscillations, or BAO, are subtle wrinkles that flowed through cosmic matter during the ...

A bevy of intricate biochemical fluctuations inside cells rule the natural world. Scientists are trying to figure out how they all work. Living things must deal with a universe that is both regular ...

Ocean-atmosphere oscillations are naturally occurring cycles affecting sea surface temperature and precipitation. They are among the key reasons why some years are dry and plagued by drought while ...

Since Hans Berger first recorded neural activity from the human scalp with an electroencephalograph (EEG), in 1924, neuroscientists have been trying to make sense of the electrical pulses emitted by ...

Any motion which repeats itself at regular intervals of time is known as periodic motion. If a body moves back and forth repeatedly about its mean position then it is said to be in oscillatory motion.

Roughly a year ago, Spain and Portugal went dark when the electrical grid of the entire Iberian Peninsula failed. While the grid operators did a heroic job of restarting the grid quickly, there were ...
