Vortex beams, rotating like a tornado, offer completely new possibilities for electron microscopy. A method of producing extremely intense vortex beams has been discovered. Vortex beams, rotating like ...

An Australian-led study has provided new insight into the behaviour of rotating superfluids. A defining feature of superfluids is that they exhibit quantised vortices – they can only rotate with one, ...

Physicists have created the first-ever atomic vortex beam — a swirling tornado of atoms and molecules with mysterious properties that have yet to be understood. By sending a straight beam of helium ...

A new animation using data from ESA’s Venus Express spacecraft shows that the double eye of the giant vortex at Venus’s South pole has disappeared. Results of a study that shows the complex, variable ...

Liutex is a new physical quantity discovered by Chaoqun Liu et al at University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) in 2018 to describe fluid rotation, which is same important as velocity, pressure, ...

French researchers develop sophisticated mathematical model to study the behavior of earthly vortices, like hurricanes and ocean currents What do smoke rings, tornadoes and the Great Red Spot of ...

If you were in a spacecraft passing over the Earth’s South Pole, you are likely to see a “polar vortex” — a huge swirling mass of clouds and winds in the upper atmosphere right above the pole, driven ...

[Anthony Garofalo] has made a fancier plasma speaker. Not content with a simple spark, he uses a plasma vortex. To make the vortex, the spark gap is swapped out for an electrode placed in the centre ...
