Satellite data from the SWOT mission reveals how massive waves act as storm "messengers," carrying a storm's power across ...

Sea Wave Energy Limited (SWEL) is a research and development company based in Cyprus and the U.K. They designed and developed a wave energy converter (WEC) called the Wave Line Magnet, which converts ...

During recent storms, satellites recorded ocean waves averaging nearly 20 meters high—as tall as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris ...

“When I was underwater and when the current swept me under and I started hitting against the rocks. That’s when I thought I was gonna die,” Kate Loshkareva says. A model standing on a rock on the ...

Until the end of the 20th century, scientists thought stories of massive waves rising up out of nowhere was just a myth sailors passed around, like sea monsters or mermaids. That changed in 1995 when ...

On the windward side of Oahu in Kaneohe Bay sits a giant buoy that could help move Hawaii’s electric grid toward more renewable resources by harnessing the motion of the ocean. The 826-ton buoy, the ...

The United States’ first onshore energy project using the ocean’s waves is up and running at the Port of Los Angeles. What’s new? Eco Wave Power has partnered with the nonprofit AltaSea to run a ...

Ocean waves are a ubiquitous part of coastal landscapes and beach vacations. But have you ever paused to ponder where a wave originates, how far it travels, or why it forms in the first place? A wave ...

One key to harvesting the ocean’s clean energy—at least a little of it—may lie in static electricity. A team of researchers in Portugal has now successfully used it to run small generators inside a ...

Ocean waves represent an abundant source of renewable energy. But to best use this natural resource, wave-energy converters need to be capable of physically handling ocean waves of different strengths ...
