Not only do male alligators use Faraday waves to get a mate, but they may also produce the only examples (biological or physical) of these kind of waves in nature. When a male alligator decides its ...

Faraday waves, first observed by Michael Faraday in the 19th century, are standing waves that appear on the surface of a fluid when subjected to vertical oscillations. These waves characteristically ...

Alligators flirt with physics. When males attract attention by quivering their spiky backs underwater, they create Faraday waves, researchers reported May 23 in Seattle at a meeting of the Acoustical ...

This year, my colleague Andrey Pototsky and I were awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in Physics for our experimental work involving vibrating living earthworms. The Ig Nobel Prizes are awarded each year to ...

Faraday Cases keep secrets from leaking out of stored devices, prevent EMP damage. WASHINGTON, DC—A small company from Utah has developed a composite material that combines carbon fibers with a nickel ...
