under the MIT license on GitHub, uses WebGL to display three-dimensional computer graphics on a web browser, and it is possible to create multicolored complex vortices by fluid simulation. Tool to ...

Smoke rings are being seen in a new light. Doughnut-shaped structures called vortex rings are sometimes seen swirling through fluids. Smokers can form them with their mouths, volcanoes can spit them ...

A completely new structure of light just dropped, called the chiral vortex – and the international team of scientists behind its creation says it could be crucial in developing new drugs and in ...

A complex maze of lasers, lenses and mirrors has been used to twist light into a vortex shaped like a doughnut. Vortex rings are common in fluids – think of smoke rings floating in air or underwater ...

Patterns exist all around the world, creating unforgettable designs exhibited by organisms and acts of nature. Some of these designs even share surprising connections, like a spiral shape seen in both ...

Researchers said these optical vortices could help overcome bandwidth limitations in fibre optic communication, or enhance the optical tweezers that can manipulate atoms. Researchers have created an ...
