A giant quantum vortex may allow researchers to study black holes. This vortex is an eddy in a special form of liquid helium that displays quantum effects. The result has some properties similar to ...

Sudden and rare warming events in Antarctica may have delayed the arrival of the ozone hole that appears above the frozen continent every year, scientists say. These warming events likely impacted a ...

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 ...

Scientists created a giant vortex made of tiny quantum pieces to bring black hole physics down to Earth. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

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 ...

The Antarctic ozone hole usually starts forming in early August, but rare warming events and a strangely elongated polar vortex this year may have delayed its arrival. When you purchase through links ...
