The discovery of high-temperature superconductors has stimulated a remarkable growth in our understanding of the physics of magnetic vortices – tubes of flux that are created when a magnetic field ...

High-pressure systems over Alaska and Greenland, Samenow added, are "allowing the jet stream to dive south over the U.S. and also for this polar vortex to drop south with the jet stream." ...

Antarctica 'super vortex' is speeding up due to climate change - and it could melt thousands of square miles of sea ice, study reveals. Antarctic Circumpolar Current churns 6 billion cubic-feet of ...
