Quantum computers hold the potential to revolutionize the possibilities for solving difficult computational problems that would take classical computers many years to resolve. But for those computers ...

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, ...

Quantum communication saw major progress, including longer-distance demonstrations and systems that operate closer to ...

Recent advances in the study of quantum fluids and phase transitions on graphene have opened new avenues for understanding low-dimensional quantum phenomena and harnessing their potential for future ...

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 ...

Quantum physics is quietly rewriting the rulebook for how far and how fast humanity might travel beyond Earth. A cluster of ...

Quantum turbulence The swirling patterns in Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” can help us visualize the quantum Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI). The central spiral and surrounding stars and ...

Scientists have created a giant quantum tornado inside a helium superfluid, and they want to use it to probe the enigmatic nature of black holes. The whirlpool — made from liquid helium cooled to near ...

Every fluid -- from Earth's atmosphere to blood pumping through the human body -- has viscosity, a quantifiable characteristic describing how the fluid will deform when it encounters some other matter ...
