The knots in your shoelaces are familiar, but can you imagine knots made from light, water, or from the structured fluids ...

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, ...

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 ...

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, but creating them ...

The same physics that gives tornadoes their ferocious stability lies at the heart of new research, and could lead to a better understanding of nuclear dynamics in studying fission, superconductors and ...

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 ...

Video: Thousands of computer processors working together are needed to produce these detailed simulations of turbulent vortices. State-of-the-art computer graphic systems developed for movies and ...
