A striking 2015 satellite image has captured a rare meteorological phenomenon known as von Kármán vortices swirling off ...
A 2015 satellite photo captured a series of stunning "von Kármán vortices" swirling off Madeira and the Canary Islands. The giant swirls are collectively one of the best examples of this ...
Microwave satellite data are key to capturing major changes in a hurricane’s strength, such as when a storm undergoes rapid ...
Nashville Zoo flamingos reveal the oddball birds generate many types of vortices to eat. The swirls could be an inspiration to human engineers.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Attention is on the Florida Peninsula, where the National Hurricane Center has highlighted a medium (40% ...
The universe's invisible dark matter might swirl into spinning clumps laced with countless tiny vortices, new theoretical ...
Quantized vortices – one of the defining features of superfluidity – have been seen in a supersolid for the first time. Observed by researchers in Austria, these vortices provide further confirmation ...
These quantities are interwoven, forming a state where multiple flows and vortices are intricately entangled. Understanding and decoding the fundamental mechanisms of such complex, multi-field ...
Researchers have observed polar vortices in a ferroelectric material that appear to be the electrical cousins of magnetic skyrmions. This discovery holds intriguing possibilities for advanced ...
What is more, the vortices were only present for small apertures, with the flow being laminar (that is, without vortices) for larger ones. Near the vortical-to-laminar transition, a single vortex in ...
When a superfluid—such as liquid helium—is set in rotation, vortices appear in which circulation around a closed loop can take only discrete values. Such quantized vortices have now been ...
