Vortex rings are toroidal structures of fluid characterised by closed-loop vorticity that provide a compelling example of coherent structures in fluid dynamics. Their dynamics involve complex ...

Researchers have made the first direct visual observation and measurement of ultra-fast vortex dynamics in superconductors. Their technique, detailed in the journal Nature Communications, could ...

University of Chicago physicists working in the nascent field of experimental vortex dynamics have, with unexpected help from a Sharpie marker, achieved the first measurements of an elusive but ...
