A vortex loop begins to form a knot during a demonstration in the physics laboratory of Asst. Prof. William Irvine. These long-elusive loops, if confirmed, could deepen scientists' understanding ...

It’s all about the physics of vortex cannons! You can make a vortex cannon without any great effort. Grab a box or an oatmeal container.

3D vortex rings appear in a bulk magnet Like classical vortices and photon vortex beams, the newly-created atom vortex beams show up as a row of doughnut-shaped rings, and the phase of their ...

Sounds tragically unscientific, but this ancient Greek epic got one thing right – how vortex physics work. Originally Charybdis was a beautiful naiad, the daughter of Poseidon, who was punished ...

El Capitan, the fastest supercomputer in the world, can now simulate extreme events like shock waves or fluid mixing at high ...

Video: Thousands of computer processors working together are needed to produce these detailed simulations of turbulent vortices. State-of-the-art computer graphic systems developed for movies and ...

A vortex ring is a doughnut-shaped phenomenon where fluids or gases knot and spin in a closed, usually circular loop. The physics of vortex rings is the same as that which gives stability to ...
