A demonstration of continuous sum-frequency generation of visible light in a microscopic silica resonator could provide a light source for on-chip silicon photonics and applications in the UV. The ...
Toroidal pulses Air cannons produce visible vortex rings by generating rotating air pressure differences, while electromagnetic cannons emit electromagnetic vortex pulses using coaxial horn antennas. ...
Mathematicians call the shape of a doughnut a 'toroid'. Physicists call a swirling fluid a 'vortex'. A toroidal vortex, then, is a swirling doughnut of fluid. This video from the Sleek Geeks archive ...
