Revolutionary Insights into Quantum Turbulence Unveiled.

Researchers from Lancaster University and Aalto University have demonstrated the dissipation of energy in quantum turbulence, providing insights into turbulence across various scales. The team's findings demonstrate a new understanding of how wave-like motion transfers energy from macroscopic to microscopic length scales, and their results confirm a theoretical prediction about how the energy is dissipated at small scales. The discovery could become a cornerstone of the physics of large quantum systems and could lead to improved engineering in domains where the flow and behaviour of fluids and gases like water and air is a key question.
