Volume 93, Issue 9

Snapshot from a simulation of the superfluid density in the region of a collapsed bubble; The bubble was moving to the right before its collapse. The collapse of the bubble has created four vortex rings; three of them are moving to the right and one to the left. [Natalia G. Berloff and Carlo F. Barenghi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 090401 (2004)]
