When Superfluids Collide, Physicists Find a Mix of Old and New

Superfluids are notable for their unique properties and behaviors arising from the quantum interactions of the particles that make them up. Despite their quantum quirks, superfluids sometimes still behave in mundane ways. A new experiment captured images of two superfluids coming together and revealed that despite their quantum nature, they can still behave in ways that resemble the ripples and mushroom clouds seen in normal fluids.
