The contrast with warmer air further south drives the very strong stratospheric winds that make up the polar vortex.

Equally, periods of a meandering jet stream and cold winter weather often occur without significant changes in the polar vortex.

"Our strategy was to outrun the vortex dynamics," says Eryin Wang.

This sharply reduces the energy loss caused by vortex motion and allows researchers to push the superconducting state much closer to its fundamental current limit.

I knew very well that all he said was ridiculous, not light for their darkness but flattery, illusion, a vortex pulling them from sunlight to heat, a kind of midsummer burgeoning, waltz to the sickle.

"So you get these big vortexes, it's quite intense, with these outbursts of activity."

Its three suns move and align in such a way as to create regular but random apocalyptic events, from infernal heat to sudden ice ages to gravitational vortexes, that destroy the civilization again and again.

Their findings revealed that swimmers can utilize water flow and vortexes more effectively as their speed increases.

Mobulas are known to create vortex formations when feeding or resting, but this is the first time vortexes have been reported in a mating context.

Being able to control where these vortices travel could therefore help scientists improve superconducting devices.

The findings demonstrate that even a surface feature only one atom high can have a powerful influence on the movement of quantum vortices.

Under certain conditions, these vortices moved more than 1,000 times more easily along the steps than across them.

"Our study shows that atomic-scale steps can act as effective rails that guide superconducting vortices, and that this guiding effect can be tuned simply by changing the temperature or magnetic field," said Uchihashi.

All of this can be explained very well in the atomic model of the world, but only with much greater difficulty using Cartesian vortices.
