Even at Colaba they were unknown until two very typical vortices passed through Bombay on June 17, 1927, and forced attention to their existence. A search was made of the past records, and several ...

Theory and experiment This composite image shows a simulation of three supersolid vortices superimposed upon experimental observations of vortices in a BEC. (Courtesy: University of Innsbruck, Austria ...

Giant vortices at Jupiter's poles, which were previously thought not to exist, have surprised scientists. Thanks to the ...

A team has now demonstrated a missing hallmark of superfluidity, namely the existence of quantized vortices as system's response to rotation. They have observed tiny quantum vortices in the ...

While Jupiter's Great Red Spot has been a constant feature of the planet for centuries, University of California, Berkeley, ...

A team led by Innsbruck physicist Francesca Ferlaino has now demonstrated a missing hallmark of superfluidity, namely the existence of quantized vortices as a system's response to rotation.

While researchers have probed various aspects of superfluid behavior, such as phase coherence and gapless Goldstone modes, direct evidence of one of superfluidity's defining features – quantized ...

The study of vortex reconnection was triggered by the pioneering work of Crow (1970), who investigated the sinusoidal instability in a pair of counter-rotating trailing vortices shed from the ...

Supersolids are materials that seem to defy conventional logic and expectations. At a glance, a supersolid might appear to be a traditional solid due to its ... Continue Reading → ...
