This video captures a rare horseshoe vortex formation during a storm event in Colorado, showcasing unusual atmospheric ...

Quantized vortices can be generated in classical experiments of liquid helium and ultracold dilute gases to conduct fundamental and comparative studies of different superfluids. In a new report ...

It's common to see line-shaped clouds in the sky, known as contrails, trailing behind the engines of a jet airplane. Recent research at the University of Illinois demonstrated that, although most wing ...

Late last year, astronomers detected the sixth known dark vortex on Neptune. This time, however, scientists were able to chronicle the formation of this swirling storm over the course of several years ...

A diagram showing how vortices form off the forebody of an aircraft flying at a high angle of incidence, or how steeply it is tilted relative to airflow. At high speeds, even the smallest movement can ...

After seeing several dark vortexes appear in the ice giant's clouds over the decades, scientists have finally been able to watch one form, and it was a big one. Share on Facebook (opens in a new ...
