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 ...

Giant vortices at Jupiter's poles, which shouldn't exist there, surprised scientists. The mystery has finally been solved ...

Giant vortices at Jupiter's poles, which were previously thought not to exist, have surprised scientists. Thanks to the ...

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 → ...

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

Theory and experiment This composite image shows a simulation of three supersolid vortices superimposed upon experimental observations of vortices in a BEC. (Courtesy: University of Innsbruck, Austria ...

A team led by Innsbruck physicist Francesca Ferlaino has now demonstrated a missing hallmark of superfluidity, namely the existence of quantized vortices as a system's response to rotation.

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 at Colaba they were unknown until two very typical vortices passed through Bombay on June 17, 1927, and forced attention to their existence. A search was made of the past records, and several ...

A team has now demonstrated a missing hallmark of superfluidity, namely the existence of quantized vortices as system's response to rotation. They have observed tiny quantum vortices in the ...
