"continually rotating cryostat create Kelvin waves which act on individual vortices pushing energy to smaller and smaller scales – ultimately leading to scale at which dissipation of energy takes place, confirming theoretical prediction about how energy dissipated at small scales... will become cornerstone of physics of large quantum systems, and help understand classical turbulence too... improve aerodynamics of vehicles, more accurately predict weather, or control water flow in pipes"
