Scientists have created a “giant quantum vortex” that is able to mimic a black hole and could help reveal their mysteries. Research hope to use the experiment – which uses superfluid helium to model ...

Scientists have created a giant quantum vortex to mimic a black hole in superfluid helium that has allowed them to see in greater detail how analogue black holes behave and interact with their ...

Vortices are a common physical phenomenon. You find them in the structure of galaxies, tornadoes and hurricanes, as well as in a cup of tea, or water as it drains from the bathtub. Normally, vortices ...
