Pioneering mathematical engineers have discovered for the first time a rigid structure which exists within the center of turbulence, leading to hope that its chaotic movement could be controlled in the future. Everyone from Formula One drivers experiencing drag, through to airplane passengers suffering a bumpy flight, will have experienced clear-air turbulence, the mixing of high- and low-speed air in the atmosphere.
