Unveiling vortex dynamics

December in Australia comes with high chances of beach trips, backyard barbecues, pavlova, and… cyclones. In an effort towards better understanding the turbulent dynamics driving cyclones and other extreme weather, we study vortices in a film of superfluid helium, on a microscopic chip. If you missed it on the Arxiv, you can now find it in 2019’s last issue of Science . Congratulations Yauhen Sachkou, Chris Baker, Glen Harris, Stefan Forstner, Xin He, Warwick Bowen, and our collaborators at UQ.
