Scientists used swirling water waves to simulate a quantum effect, uncovering rotating nodal patterns that could deepen understanding of hidden quantum phenomena.

Scientists have for the first time created a giant quantum vortex to mimic a black hole in superfluid helium that has allowed them to see in greater detail how analog black holes behave and interact ...

Vortices are a common physical phenomenon. You find them in the structure of galaxies, tornadoes and hurricanes, as well as in a cup of tea, or water as it drains from the bathtub. Normally, vortices ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An artist's illustration of a whirlpool. Scientists have created a giant quantum tornado inside a helium superfluid, and they want ...

Researchers from Würzburg have experimentally demonstrated a quantum tornado for the first time by refining an established ...

Scientists have created a “giant quantum vortex” that is able to mimic a black hole and could help reveal their mysteries. Research hope to use the experiment – which uses superfluid helium to model ...

First experimental proof of a new quantum phenomenon. (Nanowerk News) A previously unseen quantum phenomenon first predicted several years ago has been experimentally demonstrated by an international ...

Degenerate quantum gases arise when ultracold atomic vapours occupy quantum states whose thermal de Broglie wavelength exceeds the mean interparticle spacing. In Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) ...
