The video looks trivial, but it has a serious implication: the ANU scientists that put it together did so as part of the world’s on-going effort to comprehend rogue waves that menace shipping and arrive without warning. The ANU team, working with colleagues from Hamburg University of Technology and the University of Turin, demonstrated ...
