The commonplace phenomenon of liquid drops falling from a surface is—perhaps surprisingly—not yet fully understood by ...

Every year, on July 6, thousands of people gather in the Plaza Consistorial in Pamplona, Spain, for the opening ceremony of ...

Scientists have controlled Kelvin waves in superfluid helium-4, using electric fields and nanoparticles to visualize them, ...

Studying crowd dynamics could inform strategies that help to prevent dense gatherings from becoming dangerous.

Kelvin waves have been a mystery for decades but a new method involving superfluid helium-4 can help us control them.

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have developed the first controlled method for exciting and observing ...

A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like skyrmions and blue phase III phases. Skyrmions are tiny vortex-like structures ...

Scientists demonstrate controlled oscillations of quantum vortex core lines in superfluid helium, visualizing helical waves on quantum vortices.

The system, known as a polar vortex, is forecast to bring subzero temperatures to the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and deep into the South. And it looks as if we may get more arctic blasts in the coming ...

A dangerous and potentially life-threatening stretch of cold weather has much of the U.S. on alert as a lobe of the polar vortex invades the nation and sends temperatures tumbling to levels not ...

According to the NWS, the Arctic polar vortex is a powerful band of west-to-east winds that develops in the stratosphere, about 10 to 30 miles above the North Pole, during the winter season.

A polar vortex will plunge Waterloo region, Guelph and Wellington County into a deep freeze until Wednesday, Environment Canada says. On Monday morning, the federal weather agency issued an ...
