Far from shore and hidden beneath the waves, scientists are tracking swirling columns of water that behave like slow-motion ...

Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense ...

This striking satellite photo shows multiple examples of a rare meteorological phenomenon, known as "von Kármán vortices," swirling off at least six different islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Very ...

A new theory by fluid dynamics experts at the University of California, Berkeley, shows how “zombie vortices” help lead to the birth of a new star. Reporting on Tuesday, Aug. 20, in the journal ...

Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team has now demonstrated ...

Electrons flowing in vortices Top: Schematic experimental layout showing samples of Au (a) and WTe2 (b) together with the device used to measure current flow. Bottom: Normalized current densities ...

Figure 1: Lorentz microscopy of vortices in a superconducting Bi-2212 thin film with tilted columnar defects. The vortex line direction inside a superconductor can be more precisely determined by ...

When an ordinary electrical conductor – such as a metal wire – is connected to a battery, the electrons in the conductor are accelerated by the electric field created by the battery. While moving, ...

Researchers use silicon nanoparticles to help visualize the coalescence of quantized vortices that occur in superfluid helium, which can help improve our understanding of quantum fluids and materials, ...
