Scientists have created a “giant quantum vortex” that is able to mimic a black hole and could help reveal their mysteries. Research hope to use the experiment – which uses superfluid helium to model ...

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 ...
