Small-scale vorticity dynamics are central to turbulence, but their transient and chaotic nature makes direct measurement and control extremely challenging. By using magnetically driven particles, authors uncover stochastic resonance and a symmetry-breaking mechanism that may enable both control of particle dynamics and a magnetic resonance- based method for probing turbulence at its smallest scales.
