Researchers at UBC have found a way to mimic the elusive Schwinger effect using superfluid helium, where vortex pairs appear ...

Tornadoes on the outer edges of a typhoon's spiral rain bands are a severe convective weather phenomenon that occurs on the periphery of tropical cyclone systems. Compared to the core region near the ...

W hen matter and antimatter collide, they turn into pure energy. Energy can also spontaneously turn into matter and ...

There is a connection between physics and flamingos. It's all about the unusual way they feed. They stomp their large feet, they dip their heads upside down, eyes first into the water. They also open ...

Imagine watching the impossible happen: from an empty space, tiny whirlpools suddenly spin into existence, as if conjured ...

Researchers have long sought to control quantum states in materials for use in a next generation of high-speed computing—so-called quantum computing that scientists predict could one day lead to ...

It sounds like a trick of science fiction: particles springing into existence out of thin air. For decades, the so-called ...

Awards presented in 2003 to three Argonne scientists highlighted the excellence of Argonne's superconductivity program. Distinguished Scientist Alexei Abrikosov shared the Nobel Prize in physics.

A rare glimpse into the wintry conditions of the Mars north polar vortex has shown that temperatures inside the vortex are ...
