Kelvin waves have been a mystery for decades but a new method involving superfluid helium-4 can help us control them.

The researchers created, for the first time, a swirling "quantum vortex" in a helium superfluid chilled to ultracold temperatures. This apparatus essentially mimics a black hole right on our planet.

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have developed the first controlled method for exciting and observing ...

The image shows the quantum vortex network model proposed by the study authors. The p-wave inner core (pink) surrounds the s-wave outer core (grey). News organizations may use this image ...

(Nanowerk News) Lord Kelvin theorized in 1880 that stimulating a thin vortex line would produce a helical deformation, later known as a Kelvin wave. While these waves have been observed in classical ...

Recent research has focused on understanding the different types of quantum turbulence, the mechanisms behind vortex interactions, and the effects of external influences such as rotation and heat ...
