It may sound unbelievable, but new research suggests that instead of being featureless, dark matter could actually behave like a cosmic superfluid, forming swirling vortex lines and stable rotating ...

Researchers use silicon nanoparticles to help visualize the coalescence of quantized vortices that occur in superfluid helium, which can help improve our understanding of quantum fluids and materials, ...

Their study of vortex ring motion in superfluid helium, published in Nature Communications, provides crucial evidence supporting a recently developed theoretical model of quantized vortices. "Our ...

So long, solitons: University of Chicago physicists have shown that a group of scientists were incorrect when they concluded that a mysterious effect found in superfluids indicated the presence of ...

Superfluid helium-3 is a paradigmatic quantum liquid, exhibiting unconventional pairing and a range of distinct superfluid phases. When confined in aerogels, which are highly porous materials, the ...

Physicists in the UK have created a camera that can image the complex tangles of vortices that form inside a helium-3 superfluid. Developed by Theo Noble and colleagues at Lancaster University, the ...

A team of astronomers, including Danai Antonopoulou and Anna Watts from the University of Amsterdam (Uva), has discovered that sudden speed jumps in the rotational velocity of pulsars have a minimum ...

Silicon nanoparticles stabilized along the quantized vortex cores. (Courtesy: Y Minowa) The researchers observed that the nanoparticles clustered along a curved line, confirming that they were trapped ...

According to a recent study from the University of Helsinki, a vortex of a superfluid that has been quantized four times has three ways of dividing, depending on the temperature. The fluid transforms ...
