Mission: Impossible thrills with action, but beneath the stunts lies a web of puzzling plot holes you might’ve never noticed.

In a breakthrough that challenges conventional physics, scientists have confirmed the existence of “second sound” — a ...

MIT researchers observe a “second wave” of heat in superfluid helium, confirming that heat propagates like sound.

Understanding the relationship between the structure of a tornado-like vortex and how it transports debris can help curb its ...

It's no secret that air travel requires a lot of technical know-how. What exactly is wake turbulence and how does it affect ...

At the same time, that vortex is carrying conductive aerosol particles, which ionize the air and produce even more turbulence. Coarse copper leaf was chosen as the most conductive aerosol out of ...

In his seminal work on South Korean politics, The Politics of the Vortex, the late Gregory Henderson concluded that ‘political incohesiveness against both internal and external threat is a theme of ...

The dramatic ordeal afflicting passengers on the QF94 from Los Angeles to Melbourne is understood to have been caused by the vortex, or “wake turbulence” caused by another aircraft which took ...

These imbedded vortices interact with each other and create some turbulence within the overall vortex. This lessens the strength of the overall vortex. In contrast, a clean wing produces a single ...

Wake Vortex that trails from the wing tips of larger, heavier, and low-speed airplanes causes turbulent air, which poses a danger to any lighter aircraft following. To minimize the effect of wake ...
