A new metasurface lets scientists flip between ultra-stable light vortices, paving the way for tougher, smarter wireless communication.

Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic vortex-ring-like light patterns. These structured light vortices, known as skyrmions, are highly stable and ...

New device switches terahertz pulses between electric and magnetic skyrmions On-demand control of stable toroidal vortices lays groundwork for robust wireless data e ...

Mathematicians call the shape of a doughnut a 'toroid'. Physicists call a swirling fluid a 'vortex'. A toroidal vortex, then, is a swirling doughnut of fluid. This video from the Sleek Geeks archive ...

Researchers introduces the first toroidal, light-driven micro-robot that can move autonomously in viscous liquids, such as mucus. This innovation marks a major step forward in developing micro-robots ...

When comparing the efficiency of different wind turbine blade designs, [AdamEnt] found using a hair dryer wasn’t the best tool for the job. Enter his new 3D-printed wind tunnel. After several ...
