And just as waves can zip across the surface of the water, they can also ripple along the interface between the layers.
Alpha loss is an important issue in stellarators, where the inherent non-axisymmetry of the magnetic geometry causes an appreciable magnetic field ripple along the flux surfaces inside the plasma.
Ever since, scientists have been striving to make left-handed materials that work for shorter-wavelength visible light, either by miniaturizing metamaterials or by exploiting strange electric waves called plasmons, which ripple along nanometer-thick channels of metal (ScienceNOW, 23 March).
