Topological defects, a cornerstone in both quantum and classical physics, represent disruptions in an ordered system that are ...

A team of scientists has made the first experimental measurements of laser-induced motions of miniature lightsails in the lab.

It's a term you hear every couple of winters, when we get stuck in the coldest of cold patterns – polar vortex. But what exactly is it and how does it impact our weather? The polar vortex is ...

However, a deep freeze, thanks to the polar vortex dipping down from Siberia, is bringing an even harsher arctic blast to million Americans this week. Maps show what to expect as the cold front ...

Abstract: The unique wavefronts of the radio vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) make them well utilized in various space applications, e.g., local satellite-based navigation and ...

Abstract: Nonlinear effects such as self-induced waveguide play important roles on propagation of vortex beams in many applications such as optical imaging and communication in biological tissues, ...

Most of the US will enjoy milder temperatures on Thursday, but the warmup will be brief as a polar vortex will send temperatures tumbling below freezing for most of the nation starting this ...

This will be due to a polar vortex, an area of strong winds that encircle the Arctic and typically keeps the coldest air locked near the Pole, according to the FOX Forecast Center. This weekend and ...

The mere mention of the term "polar vortex" can set your head spinning (and maybe eyes rolling). It’s got to be clickbait, right? Or maybe someone dreamed up the name for views? Is it a storm?

A series of cold fronts the last few weeks has kept Florida downright chilly, as another winter storm starts takes aim this weekend. If you thought last week was cold, hold onto your hot lattes and be ...
