Nielsen–Olesen string
ID: nielsen-olesen-string
The Nielsen-Olesen string is a solution in theoretical physics that describes a type of magnetic string or vortex line that arises in certain gauge theories, particularly in the context of superconductivity and grand unified theories. It is named after Hans Christian Nielsen and Pierre Olesen, who first proposed these solutions in the early 1970s.
