Scientists studying superfluid helium have discovered a universal law explaining how quantum vortices interact, separate, and create turbulence.
This research can also provide insights into the behavior of regular fluids like air and water, impacting engineering, technology, and weather forecasting.
The study, led by researchers from FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in collaboration with international institutions, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The findings shed light on how energy flows in fluid dynamics and could have implications for designing better engines, improving weather prediction, and enhancing energy systems efficiency.
