The first signs of a potential hurricane can be detected days before a storm gains its fierce momentum. Wispy cirrus clouds ...

The Coriolis force is caused by the Earth’s rotation ... There also needs to be plenty of moisture, as dry air can cause clouds to evaporate and weaken the upward motions within thunderstorms.

Scientists then defined the “edge” of this gaseous material by introducing a laser, which formed a wall around the atoms.

MIT scientists have coaxed atoms into an exotic “edge state” for the first time, allowing them to flow completely ...

Physicists directly observed ultracold atoms in an 'edge state,' flowing along a boundary without resistance. The research could help physicists manipulate electrons to flow without friction in ...

To give the atoms an edge to travel around, the team introduced a ring of laser light. When the atoms collided with this ...

Our Earth’s circle of latitude passes through 11 countries: Indonesia (which has the longest cut), Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, ...

Now, scientists at MIT have created an experimental set-up that recreates the quantum Hall effect, but uses ultracold cloud of sodium ... s also a third force, the Coriolis effect, such that ...

Electrons are typically chaotic -- zero flow, scattering like billiard balls when they encounter obstacles. Not when they're in "edge state." ...
