(Nanowerk News) The membrane surrounding cells acts as a selective barrier, cradling and protecting the cell's contents from the external surroundings and choosing which substances to allow in or out ...

Optical vortex beams, characterized by their helical phase fronts and orbital angular momentum (OAM), are pivotal in applications such as high-capacity communication, optical manipulation, and quantum ...

Liquid helium-4, which is in a superfluid state at cryogenic temperatures close to absolute zero (-273°C), has a special vortex called a quantized vortex that originates from quantum mechanical ...

A Korean research team has mathematically proved that a vortex pair called the "Sadovskii patch" can exist in an ideal fluid. It comes more than 50 years after the model structure was proposed. A team ...

Vortex dynamics in cylindrical containers encapsulate a range of complex fluid behaviours driven by rotational motion. In these geometries, the interplay between centrifugal forces and viscous effects ...

Researchers have developed a rapid and efficient device that uses the power of a tiny fluid vortex to deform the cell membranes, allowing delivery of nanomaterials into cells. The membrane surrounding ...
