(Phys.org) —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 ...

Superfluid Helium-3 serves as a paradigm for unconventional quantum fluids, exhibiting multiple p-wave paired phases distinguished by broken symmetries and topological order. In bulk, the chiral ...

Quantum turbulence in superfluid helium arises from the complex dynamics of quantised vortices within a frictionless fluid that coexists with a normal viscous component. Unlike classical turbulence, ...

Physicists at the University of Queensland have shed light upon how tiny whirlpools (vortices) get stuck to obstacles in superfluids. Superfluids are a quantum substance that can flow without ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have shown that a group of scientists were incorrect when they concluded that a mysterious effect found in superfluids indicated the presence of solitons -- exotic, solitary waves. Instead ...
