The list of things people can do with LEGO is literally endless. Case in point: The below experiment centered on the dynamics of dropping LEGO minifigures into a vortex. A vortex itself made ...

Unlike civil aviation, where aircraft fly relatively steadily and generate lift at low angles of attack, military aircraft are often required to perform extreme manoeuvres. These manoeuvres can push ...

Scientists have created a “giant quantum vortex” that is able to mimic a black hole and could help reveal their mysteries. Research hope to use the experiment – which uses superfluid helium to model ...

From building transparent potato guns to discussing why scientists are burning astronaut pee (seriously), YouTube channel Smarter Every Day has long been demonstrating the many ways science is ...

As of today, the Wikipedia entry for the hummingbird explains that the bird's flight generates in its wake a single trail of vortices that helps the bird hover. But after conducting experiments with ...

Marked departures from inviscid flow were found when swirling water was discharged downwards under pressure through a Perspex conical nozzle. A boundary layer of forced vortex motion formed on the ...

Dark matter makes up about 85 percent of all matter in the universe. It neither emits nor absorbs light, making it invisible ...

A new simulation based on the von-Kármán-Sodium (VKS) dynamo experiment takes a closer look at how the liquid vortex created by the device generates a magnetic field. Researchers investigated the ...
