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 ...

Scientists investigated numerically the interaction between a quantized vortex and a normal-fluid. Based on the experimental results, researchers decided the most consistent of several theoretical ...

Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense rules we experience every day, where water pours, syrup sticks and coffee ...

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 ...

Quantized vortices are topological excitations occurring in a variety of quantum systems, such as Bose–Einstein condensates 1,2, superfluids 3 and superconductors 4,5. Understanding such excitations ...

Quantized Vortex Rings in Superfluid Helium Vortex rings analogous to smoke rings in air can be produced in liquid helium. They move in strange ways and exhibit discrete quantum effects on a large ...

Liquid helium-4, which is in a superfluid state at cryogenic temperatures close to absolute zero (-273°C), has a special vortex called a quantized vortex that originates from quantum mechanical ...
