Bumpy skies: How climate change increases air turbulence
The seatbelt sign pings on, trays rattle, drinks slosh in their glasses. For many fliers, air turbulence can be an unnerving experience—and in a world warming under the effects of climate change, it is only set to worsen, ...

Mathematical model clarifies scaling regimes in Lagrangian turbulence evolution
A sneeze. Ocean currents. Smoke. What do these have in common? They're instances of turbulence: unpredictable, chaotic, uneven fluid flows of fluctuating velocity and pressure. Though ubiquitous in nature, these flows remain ...

Tying light from lasers into stable 'optical knots'
Knots are generally understood to form due to twists and turns of long, flexible materials that keep shoes on your feet or frustrate your attempts at hanging holiday decorations. A beam of light doesn't sound like a material ...
