An artist's illustration of a quantum whirlpool. Physicists have observed the mysterious "sudden death" of quantum fluctuations inside a bizarre superconducting material. The discovery, made in an ...

A team of Japanese researchers has discovered a method to control Kelvin wave excitation in superfluid helium-4. This breakthrough can refine our understanding of how energy moves in quantum fluids, ...

Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team has now demonstrated ...

Within superconductors little tornadoes of electrons, known as quantum vortices, can occur which have important implications in superconducting applications such as quantum sensors. Now a new kind of ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

Vincent Van Gogh's 136-year-old "The Starry Night" is making rounds on the internet. Apparently, the painting contained a replica of vortices produced during Kelvin-Helmholtz instability inside ...

(Nanowerk News) A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances ("Tailoring electron vortex beams with customizable intensity patterns by electron diffraction holography"), discusses tailoring ...

Quantum dynamics provides the theoretical framework for understanding the evolution of quantum systems, wherein the effects of uncertainty and nonlinearity create rich, complex behaviours. Integral to ...

Physicists have observed the mysterious "sudden death" of quantum fluctuations inside a bizarre superconducting material. The discovery, made in an atom-thin layer of the semimetallic compound ...

(Nanowerk News) Matter that behaves like both a solid and a superfluid at the same time seems impossible. Yet, more than 50 years ago, physicists predicted that quantum mechanics allows such a state, ...
