A type of turbulence that only exists in the quantum realm has been directly observed for the first time. This “ultraquantum” turbulence may be representative of what happens in many exotic settings, from liquid helium to neutron stars.
Summary
A type of turbulence that only exists in the quantum realm has been directly observed for the first time. This “ultraquantum” turbulence may be representative of what happens in many exotic settings, from liquid helium to neutron stars. Turbulence refers to chaotic and irregular currents in a liquid or gas that is perturbed, like unruly versions of whirlpools you create by stirring a cup of tea.
