Physicists have long tried to model the chaotic phenomenon of turbulence. Now, a team has pioneered a new quantum ...

When humans kick swim through water, vortices form around their legs, generating the force that propels them forward. However ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered that the structure of vortices generated around a swimmer's feet changes with increasing speed during underwater undulatory swimming. Specifically, ...

Von Karman vortices are spectacular in satellite imagery, are more common than they may sound, and, at least in one case, they have proven to be damaging. As a meteorologist, one of my favorite ...

Jan. 3, 2025: Our weekly roundup of the latest science in the news, as well as a few fascinating articles to keep you entertained over the weekend. It's a chilly start to 2025 for many as an ...

Well-known examples of topological defects, which control the mechanical properties of a system, are vortices, anti-vortices, solitons and dislocations. In amorphous systems such as glasses ...

Lord Kelvin theorized in 1880 that stimulating a thin vortex line would produce a helical deformation, later known as a Kelvin wave ...
