Liquid helium-4, which is in a superfluid state at cryogenic temperatures close to absolute zero (-273°C), has a special vortex called a quantized vortex that originates from quantum mechanical ...

Researchers have developed a rapid and efficient device that uses the power of a tiny fluid vortex to deform the cell membranes, allowing delivery of nanomaterials into cells. The membrane surrounding ...

University of Chicago physicists working in the nascent field of experimental vortex dynamics have, with unexpected help from a Sharpie marker, achieved the first measurements of an elusive but ...

(Nanowerk News) Nobel laureate in physics Richard Feynman once described turbulence as “the most important unsolved problem of classical physics.” Understanding turbulence in classical fluids like ...
