Introduction Have you ever seen a wind turbine? Wind turbines are large towers with blades on top that are spun by the wind. They are one source of clean, renewable energy. They use the movement from ...

From galaxies to the Sun, new research explains how turbulent motion can produce large-scale magnetic fields that remain ...

Turbulence is chaotic air movement caused by jet streams, mountains, storms, and other disturbances. Turbulence in flight is very common, but not necessarily dangerous, since planes are built for it.
