"The Blob" is a pioneering experimental setup in which a perfect, stationary ball of turbulence is generated at the center of a water tank by firing synchronized water jets. This configuration isolates the chaotic swirling of fluids from boundary interactions, allowing scientists to study turbulence in its purest, undisturbed form.

Physicists at our university have succeeded in setting a supersolid quantum gas into rotation. In the process, they observed an intriguing phenomenon: when quantum vortices appeared, the motions of the crystalline structures became synchronized.

Similar vortex dynamics may also play a role in the behavior of neutron stars. ✨

Supersolid spins into synchrony

Supersolids, a state of matter that combines the rigidity of a solid with the frictionless flow of a superfluid, exhibit surprising synchronization when rotated. Innsbruck researchers found that quantum vortices—tiny whirlpools in the quantum fluid— cause the precession and revolution of the superfluid crystal structure to synchronize their motion. This discovery provides a new tool for studying fundamental properties of quantum systems.
