This scene asks a stranger question : What happens if the material has negative refractive index? As the electron moves through the metamaterial slab, the emitted radiation no longer follows the familiar Cherenkov geometry (see below). The energy flow forms a backward-directed cone, extending opposite to the electron's motion.... show more

This is a simulation of a Hydrogen electron described by a superposition of several highly excited Rydberg states. The superposition forms a localized quantum wavepacket that moves around the atom, spreads, splits, and later reforms as the different energy components return to phase.

Riddle: Where does the energy flow in this steady state DC circuit with a copper block? And where do the Poynting vectors point? As a bonus, extend the size of the copper block to the size of the earth.

A rocket cuts through a solved Navier-Stokes flow, forcing the fluid to separate around its body and roll into a long turbulent wake. Using the D2Q9 lattice-Boltzmann method, the scene reveals vorticity, strain, Q-criterion vortex cores and wall shear.

An intense pulse of laser light enters a plasma and what follows is almost unbelievable. The laser pushes plasma electron aside, carving out a charged cavity. As the plasma rushes back, it creates an electric wake that can trap and accelerate another bunch of electrons. This is known as Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) and is being explored for future accelerator Physics. For this animation, we used a reduced particle-in-cell (PIC) method, coupling particle motion to the self-consistent plasma field on a computational mesh.

A Luneburg lens bends an Electromagnetic wave without a curved boundary. Instead its dielectric constant changes continuously from the centre to the edge. This forces different parts of the wavelength to travel at different speeds. Here, we solve the full 2D TM EM wave equation on an unstructured triangular mesh using the Finite Element Method (FEM).

The Serpent 🐍 The Spiral 🌀 The Shape of Reality? "Modern science" says gravity is the BENDING of spacetime (Relativity) - mass causes curves, and ENERGY follows them. BUT, a "new" theory, Spacetime Torsional Resonance (STR), suggests that space doesn’t just bend... it TWISTS. Spirals, double helixes, and vortices, energy moves as a TORTIONAL flow. A “new” idea that might actually be ANCIENT. Across cultures, we see entwined serpents: ⚕️ Caduceus 🐉 Cosmic dragons 🌀 Kundalini 🐍 Naga, Ouroboros What if the SERPENT symbolises the "duality and motion" of energy itself - the hidden SYMBOL of life and the universe? And what science now calls “dark matter”... what the ancients knew as AETHER - the living medium of energetic flow, resonance, and CREATION?

The positron is the antimatter partner of the electron and together they form positronium... a tiny quantum system with no nucleus. We used the time-dependent Schrödinger equation to evolve the electron and positron clouds. Their motion comes from their quantum states changing over time and the color from phase.

What Shape Does Chaos Take Before It Looks Random? Take one particle moving in the Hénon-Heiles Hamiltonian H = ½(pₓ² + pᵧ²) + ½(x² + y²) + λ(x²y - ⅓y³) Its motion is forced by Hamilton’s equations ẋ = pₓ ẏ = pᵧ ṗₓ = -x - 2λxy ṗᵧ = -y - λ(x² - y²) The saddle energy is Eₛ = 1/(6λ²) Below that energy, the particle remains trapped. But a tiny packet of nearby initial conditions stretches into filaments, folds through the potential, and begins to look almost random. However, it is not random. Hamiltonian flow preserves the hidden phase-space structure. What looks like chaos in ordinary space is still a deterministic loom of energy conserved, equations obeyed, geometry stretched without being erased. #HamiltonianMechanics #ChaosTheory #PhaseSpace #DynamicalSystems #MathematicalPhysics #NonlinearDynamics #HenonHeiles #SymplecticGeometry #ScienceAnimation

A Bonus render of Electron Holography for our Quantum Mechanics Lecture Series. We’re staging a TEM-style electron holography shot as a single 3D scene. A coherent electron wave ψ(x,y,t) enters from the left as a localized packet, gets split by a thin biprism phase wedge, then bends around a central nanoring that stands in for an enclosed magnetic flux. The wave evolves by Schrödinger dynamics, so its intensity ρ=|ψ|² is literally the electron detection probability density, while the probability current j=(1/m)Im(ψ*∇ψ) acts like a conserved flow of that density across the plane. The main surface is a living whose height tracks |ψ| and whose skin color cycles with arg(ψ). On top of it, luminous current ribbons trace streamlines of v=j/(ρ+ε), so you can see how phase gradients steer the flow around the ring and back into interference. High above, a tilted detector/hologram screen shows the off-axis fringe image you’d measure (intensity after mixing with a reference wave), while a porcelain bead marks the centroid ⟨x⟩(t) and flux threads through the ring pulse in sync with the Aharonov-Bohm phase knob φ_AB(t). See our lecture series for details. #QuantumMechanics #ElectronHolography #MathematicalPhysics #Physics

When Light Becomes Heavy Enough to Trap Itself Can light collapse into a black hole? In General Relativity, light is not weightless in the geometric sense. It has energy, it carries momentum, and energy curves Spacetime. A Vaidya-type collapse describes a mass that grows because radiation is falling inward. The mathematics is the same brutal idea behind Einstein’s equation Gᵤᵥ = 8πTᵤᵥ If the stress-energy Tᵤᵥ is made from radiation, then light itself becomes a source of curvature. As more radiation falls inward, the mass aspect grows, the Spacetime fabric tightens, and a clean black horizon appears where escaping paths begin to fail. #GeneralRelativity #EinsteinEquations #BlackHole #Spacetime #Astrophysics #TheoreticalPhysics #Light #Mathematics #Science

It is often said that the lift on a wing is generated because the flow moving over the top surface has a longer distance to travel and therefore needs to go faster. This common explanation is actually wrong.

Stealing Energy from a Rotating Black Hole A rotating black hole doesn’t just pull things in. It drags spacetime itself into motion. In the spinning region just outside the horizon, nothing can remain still in any normal sense. That strange rule opens a loophole. One incoming body can split, with one piece swallowed while the other escapes with more energy than it came in with. A Penrose-style heist where the difference is paid for by the black hole’s rotation. The same idea shows up in wave form. A coherent packet can skim that region and return brighter, as if the geometry itself acted like an amplifier. Split near the ergosphere and you can steal spin. Skim it as a wave and you can come back louder.

What Happens When a Black Hole Does More Than Fall? In General Relativity, a rotating Black Hole is described by the Kerr Metric. Its spin does something strange to spacetime... it drags the geometry around with it. The horizon sits at r₊ = M + √(M² - a²) but outside it there is another surface, the Ergosphere, r_E(θ) = M + √(M² - a²cos²θ) Inside that region, Spacetime is being swept around so strongly that remaining still is no longer possible. Every particle, every light thread, every local observer is forced to rotate with the geometry. For this scene, the C-metric acceleration remains alive in the background and the Black Hole still moves through the fabric, pulled along an axial defect. But the main event is Kerr frame dragging. The fabric twists. The Ergosphere breathes. Light paths shear into spirals. Particles that try to cross the region get carried around before falling inward. #GeneralRelativity #BlackHole #KerrMetric #FrameDragging #Ergosphere #Spacetime #EinsteinEquations #Astrophysics #Physics

In 1998, Japanese Mathematician, Engineer and Machine Learning pioneer Shun-ichi Amari published "Natural Gradient Works Efficiently in Learning (722 Cites in Papers and 9 Cites in Patents)" and made a point that still feels fresh even today If your loss is L(θ), then the usual update θ̇ = −∇ L(θ) quietly assumes your parameter space is flat. Amari asked what happens when the model itself has geometry, described by G(θ), the Fisher information. Then the more natural direction becomes θ̇ = −G(θ)⁻¹∇ L(θ). This is the same loss, but with a different notion of distance. As the animation shows, ordinary Gradient Descent follows the raw slope and gets dragged around by distortion, while the natural gradient moves in a way that respects the geometry of the statistical model itself.

The Dance of Three Masses on a Warped Spacetime Fabric Newtonian Gravity says masses attract one another through force. General Relativity changes the picture by treating gravity as geometry itself, where matter shapes Spacetime, and motion follows that evolving curved structure. In a three-body system, the bodies are not just pulling on each other. They are moving through a geometric landscape that shifts as the mass arrangement changes.

An Electron flies above a metal grating without touching it. As the electron passes, each groove scatters its electromagnetic near field at a slightly different time. The emissions interfere and produce what's called Smith-Purcell radiation. This effect is being explored for tunable Terahertz radiation, biomedical spectroscopy, and high-speed communications.

This is a visualization of a Rydberg wavepacket. In simple terms it is a way of showing an electron in a very highly excited quantum state. The Math comes from the Schrödinger equation for hydrogen where the electron is described by a wavefunction rather than as a tiny ball moving on a fixed path. The yellow sphere at the centre is the proton, not the electron. The colored 3D surface around it shows places where the electron is more likely to be, i.e. a probability cloud.

What happens when a creative director experiments with Flow? Our very own Christian Haas shared insight into how he created his short film called, "Found." #MadeWithFlow “I used Flow almost as an actor, trying things out to see what was funnier or more charming. In the scene where the character is on stage as a cardboard tree, for example, I tried several different gags to see what was going to land better. My initial frame had only the character as a tree, then in Flow I would prompt different things that could happen. Like what if he falls? What if the spotlight can’t find him? What if there are more trees? And so on. Like a director giving notes to an actor on stage, I could watch in real time the result and pick the best take for the edit.”
