Tangled quantum whirlpools caught unraveling in an ultracold gas

When a cloud of atoms is cooled close to absolute zero, its atoms can merge into a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC): an exotic fluid in which atoms across the whole cloud share a single quantum state. Current theories predict that as a disordered quantum gas settles into this order
When a cloud of atoms is cooled close to absolute zero, its atoms can merge into a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC): an exotic fluid in which atoms across the whole cloud share a single quantum state. Current theories predict that as a disordered quantum gas settles into this ordered state, a tangle of tiny vortices should form and gradually unravel.

Einstein's equations may explain the universe without dark energy
Mathematicians have uncovered what they argue is a fundamental flaw in the standard model of the universe, potentially challenging the need for dark energy. Their calculations suggest that the mathematical framework used to describe cosmic expansion is inherently unstable and tha
