University of Chicago 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 ...

NASA's Juno mission has found that Jupiter's Great Red Spot is just the beginning, revealing a polar vortex system of perfectly geometric cyclones and 600 km/h winds that operate under physics we ...

Researchers have long sought to control quantum states in materials for use in a next generation of high-speed computing—so-called quantum computing that scientists predict could one day lead to ...
