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 ...

While Jupiter's Great Red Spot has been a constant feature of the planet for centuries, University of California, Berkeley, ...

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

Aircraft generate wake just like boats do in the water. Unlike the water, you can't see wake in the air but should always ...

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 → ...

Scientists have discovered Earth-sized dark UV spots at Jupiter's poles, likely caused by magnetically driven vortices ...

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

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 ...
