Abstract: Rotating superfluid helium-3 produces vortices, much like water disappearing down a plughole, but these vortices are governed by quantum mechanics. A new type of quantum vortex has been created in helium-3 that may be the superfluid analogue of cosmic strings (vortices in the structure of space-time).
