Scientists at the Universidad Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M) and the University of California - San Diego (UC San Diego) have created, in a laboratory, a static pipeline wave, with a crest that moves neither forward nor backward.

“A wave is a deformation in the surface of a liquid that moves at a speed that is independent of that liquid,” the researchers explain.
