The interiors of fusion reactors can get seriously chaotic. But for obvious reasons—like extreme temperatures and pressures—researchers aren’t typically able to peek directly inside a reactor. Some ...

Just before Cheers and long before Frasier, acting great Kelsey Grammer honed his acting sensibilities on stage in places like the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis and Broadway in New York City. And ...

Producing fusion energy requires heating plasma to more than one hundred million degrees and confining it stably with strong magnetic fields. However, plasma naturally develops fluctuations known as ...

While atmospheric turbulence is a familiar culprit of rough flights, the chaotic movement of turbulent flows remains an unsolved problem in physics. To gain insight into the system, a team of ...

Zach and Emmy’s romantic retreat aboard a hot air balloon takes a terrifying turn when they are highjacked by a sinister third passenger with a link to Zach’s past. As the mystery of their secret ...

Abstract: Atmospheric turbulence is a significant factor that affects the radiometry of spaceborne laser pulses. Depending on the meteorological data from the National Centers for Environmental ...

Physicists have devised a new model to account for the discomfort that airline passengers know all too well. By Alexander Nazaryan Bjorn Birnir dreads an airplane seatmate asking what he does for a ...

So, you’re looking to speed up your OpenFOAM simulations? That’s where Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) come into play. These aren’t just for gaming anymore; they’re powerhouses for heavy computation.

Turbulence is everywhere, yet much about the nature of turbulence remains unknown. During the last decade, physicists have discovered how fluids in a pipe or similar geometry transition from a smooth, ...

Passengers who weren’t buckled aboard a Delta Air Lines flight to Europe would have been violently thrown into the ceiling and back down to the floor in July when the plane encountered severe ...

Turbulence experienced by aircraft can turn a smooth flight into a bumpy one – and even have dangerous consequences. And it is all caused by the movement of air in the atmosphere. Airplanes achieve ...
