What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...
We continue our exploration of fluids and fluid dynamics. We continue our exploration of fluids and fluid dynamics. How do fluids act when they're in motion? How does pressure in different places ...
After years of creating highly specialized software, researchers used supercomputer clusters to finally solve the ...
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, ...
