New research uses electric fields to manipulate metallic nanoparticles capable of producing vortices within the laser light.

Science often surprises us with its ability to connect seemingly unrelated phenomena. Have you ever stopped to marvel at how ...

Vortex is a natural fluid phenomenon that is often of great consequence in almost any practical flow, such as shear layers, wakes, jets, plumes, and multi-phase or multi-physics interfaces. In fluid ...

A team of researchers has produced vortices within a supersolid, confirming superfluid behavior within this state of matter. As well as all the states of matter you learned about in school ...

Even with average global temperatures rising, deep freeze is still a very potent risk for Northern Hemisphere businesses.

Unusual vortices tied to Jupiter’s magnetic field may be driving massive formations of atmospheric haze close to the giant ...

Supersolids are materials that seem to defy conventional logic and expectations. At a glance, a supersolid might appear to be a traditional solid due to its ... Continue Reading → ...
