Heat waves don’t just strike on land — they can also occur in the ocean. And roughly a third of marine heat waves aren’t detectable at the ocean’s surface, a new study reports. The findings, published ...

Converting the power of water into energy is nothing new. Using ocean waves is. The power of the ocean could soon be used to power homes in the U.S. as scientists prepare to test an untapped form of ...

Alessandro Toffoli receives funding from the Australia Research Council. We used three-dimensional imaging of ocean waves to capture freakish seas that produce a notorious phenomenon known as rogue ...

What if the key to solving the renewable energy puzzle has been quietly rolling beneath the surface all along? While solar panels and wind turbines dominate the conversation, the vast, untapped power ...

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 ...

Eco Wave Power’s technology is deployed near shore, attached to seawalls or jetties, where paddle-like devices are driven up and down by wave action, to generate electricity. Photo courtesy of Eco ...

Researchers from Australia’s University of Queensland have made a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip to miniaturise the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ’s School of Mathematics and ...
