Physicists have created the first-ever atomic vortex beam — a swirling tornado of atoms and molecules with mysterious properties that have yet to be understood. By sending a straight beam of helium ...

The polar vortex rages in the arctic during the winter, producing winds up to 150 miles per hour. But when that vortex weakens, arctic air escapes to more southerly latitudes, which creates ...

There is a sudden warming about to happen high up in the atmosphere. This warming will affect the Polar Vortex. The Polar Vortex is a fast-spinning circular motion usually located about 50,000 feet in ...

Powerful winter storms which led to deaths and power outages in the UK and Ireland were made more likely by an intense swirling vortex of winds miles above the Arctic, say scientists. Powerful winter ...

Artistic representation of the center down-convergent polarization field. It results from the compression of the polarization flux by the sidewalls of the nanoislands. The texture in each nanoisland ...
