A rare glimpse into the wintry conditions of the Mars north polar vortex has shown that temperatures inside the vortex are ...

Researchers at UBC have found a way to mimic the elusive Schwinger effect using superfluid helium, where vortex pairs appear ...

Superfluid helium reveals a manageable analog to the Schwinger effect. It deepens understanding of vortices and quantum ...

W hen matter and antimatter collide, they turn into pure energy. Energy can also spontaneously turn into matter and antimatter pairs. If this happens in a vacuum under a strong electric field, this is ...

This calculated diffraction image shows how forked diffraction gratings shape the atoms' wave function into a vortex. (Courtesy: Science/AAAS) A wave-like property previously only seen in beams of ...

It sounds like a trick of science fiction: particles springing into existence out of thin air. For decades, the so-called ...

There is a connection between physics and flamingos. It's all about the unusual way they feed. They stomp their large feet, they dip their heads upside down, eyes first into the water. They also open ...

University of Chicago physicists have succeeding in creating a vortex knot—a feat akin to tying a smoke ring into a knot. Linked and knotted vortex loops have existed in theory for more than a century ...
