Researchers at UBC have found a way to mimic the elusive Schwinger effect using superfluid helium, where vortex pairs appear out of thin films instead of electron-positron pairs in a vacuum. Their ...

Vortices generated by turbulent fluctuations in the proximity of streamlined wings of an airplane are detrimental to the flight. On the other hand, the creation of vortices allows insects to fly ...

Following the recent article on the dispersive hydrodynamic formulation of magnetization dynamics in thin film ferromagnets, Ezio Iacocca and Mark Hoefer explore the effect of finite-sized obstacles ...
