Demystifying vortex rings in nuclear fusion, supernovae

Better understanding the formation of swirling, ring-shaped disturbances — known as vortex rings — could help nuclear fusion researchers compress fuel more efficiently, bringing it closer to becoming a viable energy source. A mathematical model linking these vortices with more pedestrian types, like smoke rings, could help engineers control their behavior in power generation and more.
