Near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) are crucial energy sources for deep-sea mixing, but the origins of deep NIWs have remained largely unknown. A research team led by Prof. Wang Fan from the Institute ...

Tropical cyclones can trigger near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) that penetrate up to 3,000 meters, accounting for over 50% of deep NIKE. Internal tides contribute less than 30% through ...

I currently work with Brad Hindman studying inertial oscillations (waves where the restoring force is the Coriolis force) in the solar interior. While inertial oscillations are well-understood in ...

which strive to achieve fusion with the combined advantages of magnetic and inertial confinements. In magnetized implosion experiments, externally imposed seed magnetic fields are compressed, reaching ...

Such particles and waves travel at c regardless of the motion of the source or the inertial reference frame of the observer. Particles with nonzero rest mass can approach c, but can never actually ...
