Spinning discs in the lab
Article Abstract:
A laboratory experiment in which water is confined between two independently turning cylinders has indicated that something more than just hydrodynamics must be at work. The results might be able to provide the reason behind the gases being drawn in towards black holes, rather than remain in stable orbits as planets do around the Sun.

Optical rouge waves
Article Abstract:
The concept and the physics of the optical rouge waves are discussed. These waves are found to occur due to the initially smooth pulses that rise after the power transfer caused by a small noise perturbation.
