Researchers have found that a swirling water vortex can force opposing waves to form rotating lines of stillness across an ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. It may sound unbelievable, but new research suggests that instead of being featureless, dark matter could actually behave like a ...

A new study reveals how a spinning vortex causes system-wide, counter-rotating wave patterns, mimicking effects that occur, ...

French researchers develop sophisticated mathematical model to study the behavior of earthly vortices, like hurricanes and ocean currents What do smoke rings, tornadoes and the Great Red Spot of ...

Vortex identification and turbulent flow analysis have evolved considerably from early vorticity‐based techniques to modern, quantitative methods. Traditionally, researchers used measures such as ...

Black holes are astronomical objects with extremely strong gravitational pulls from which not even light can escape. While the idea of bodies that would trap light has been around since the 18th ...

You may not realize it, but the Doppler effect is everywhere in our lives, from tracking the speed of cars with radar to locating satellites in the sky. It's all about how waves change their frequency ...

The Venus Express mission is currently funded until 2014, offering further opportunities for in-depth studies of the super-rotating atmosphere and the shape-shifting southern polar vortex. However, ...
