An international team of scientists featuring Florida State University researchers has developed a model that predicts the spread of vortices in so-called superfluids, work that provides new insight ...

There was once a saying from the renowned American physicist Richard Feynman about turbulence. He said that it remains to be the most important "unsolved" problem in classical physics. The challenge ...

When people are thinking of the future of space travel, an idea that floats around is a spaceship with a giant solar sail pushed along by a massive laser. Inspired by the concept but lacking a giant ...

Nobel laureate in physics Richard Feynman once described turbulence as "the most important unsolved problem of classical physics." Understanding turbulence in classical fluids like water and air is ...

We’re fascinated by things with no moving parts or active components that work simply by virtue of the shape they contain — think waveguides and resonators for microwave radiation. A similarly ...
