Scientists catch quantum vortices in the act—and change fluid physics forever

Scientists studying a mysterious form of matter known as superfluid helium have made a groundbreaking discovery about how tiny whirlpools—called quantum vortices—behave. Their research uncovered a universal law that explains how these vortices interact, separate, and create turbulence. Surprisingly, this new understanding also helps explain how regular fluids like air and water behave, potentially impacting […] The post Scientists catch quantum …
