Access lab updates and government resources related to the virus

Merging dynamics of two BECs, one rotating and one stationary. Density evolution of each drop is shown in the top row, and angular momentum transfer is shown in the bottom row. Angular momentum is transferred due to the spontaneous emergence of a corkscrew structure at the interface. (Image by the Center for Nanoscale Materials.)

Theoretical breakthrough shows quantum fluids rotate by corkscrew mechanism

If a drop of creamer falls from a spoon into a swirling cup of coffee, the whirlpool drags the drop into rotation. But what would happen if the coffee had no friction — no way to pull the drop into a synchronized spin?
