Researchers Create a Wave Frozen in Time
San Diego, CA, July 22, 2013 -- Scientists at the Universidad Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M) and the University of California, San Diego have created, in a laboratory, a static “pipeline wave,” with a crest that moves neither forward nor backward. This research, published in the journal Experiments in Fluids, could lead to improvements in boat and seaport designs as well as analyses of how carbon dioxide exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs.

Researchers discover cool-burning flames in space that could lead to better engines here on earth
A team of international researchers has discovered a new type of cool burning flames that could lead to cleaner, more efficient engines for cars. The discovery was made during a series of experiments on the International Space Station by a team led by Professor Forman Williams. Researchers detailed their findings last month in the journal Microgravity Science and Technology. Read More Here
