Vortices can play leapfrog—and they do it not just in water, but in light! In a new experiment, quantum vortices jumped over each other in "liquid light." But if they're accelerated too much, the dance is destroyed by a shock wave. This is key to controlling motion in future quantum devices.
🎯 Feynman predicted vortex leapfrog while pondering the mysteries of turbulence, and it's only now been physically seen—in laser light.
🎬 Liquid light is almost like a lightsaber from science fiction, where energy becomes tangible.
