On today’s episode of “For Science!” we invite a very special guest to the lab, 9 & 10 chief meteorologist Michael Stevens to discuss the often misunderstood concept of Doppler. Many believe that the ...

Doppler radar stands as the most important modern invention in meteorology, fundamentally transforming how we predict, prepare for, and track severe weather events. Since installations began across ...

The inverse Doppler effect has been observed in an experiment for the first time. Nigel Seddon and Trevor Bearpark at BAE Systems in Bristol in the UK saw the effect in an electrical transmission line ...

A twist on the physics that cops use to clock speeding drivers can determine how fast an object is spinning. The approach could be used to protect wind turbines from damaging winds, learn about ...

The headline is somewhat of a trick question: of course the effect did exist before the railroads. However, it wasn’t yet defined by the physics of the day, nor was it even noticed before the ...

A NASA rocket experiment could use the Doppler effect to look for signs of dark matter in mysterious X-ray emissions from space. Researchers who hoped to look for signs of dark matter particles in ...

The Doppler shift of sound or light waves from a moving source is familiar to physicists and non-physicists alike. Now, researchers in China and Australia have seen the more exotic inverse Doppler ...
