The list of things people can do with LEGO is literally endless. Case in point: The below experiment centered on the dynamics of dropping LEGO minifigures into a vortex. A vortex itself made ...

Quantized vortices can be generated in classical experiments of liquid helium and ultracold dilute gases to conduct fundamental and comparative studies of different superfluids. In a new report ...

Differential flap settings and spoiler changes hold key for tackling hazard Researchers are planning flight tests of an Airbus A340-300 testbed in mid-2006 to evaluate the effect of differential flap ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Remember the term polar vortex? We have heard about it and felt that bitter cold arctic air during plenty of West Michigan winters, but what is a vortex and how does it work?? We ...

Better understanding the formation of swirling, ring-shaped disturbances—known as vortex rings—could help nuclear fusion researchers compress fuel more efficiently, bringing it closer to becoming a ...

With the rapid development of femtosecond lasers, the generation and application of optical vortices have been extended to the regime of intense-light-matter interaction. The characterization of the ...
