(Phys.org) —The same physics that gives tornadoes their ferocious stability lies at the heart of new University of Washington research, and could lead to a better understanding of nuclear dynamics in ...

The physics association from the department of physics, Panjab University, in association with IAPT (Indian Association of Physics Teachers) organized its annual academic meet "Vortex 2013" on Tuesday ...

University of Chicago physicists have succeeded 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, ...
