Physicists have identified a new superfluid phase in a class of quantum systems that, until recently, looked too unstable and ...

Researchers have discovered how superfluid helium 3He would feel if you could put your hand into it. The interface between the exotic world of quantum physics and classical physics of the human ...

A stable "exceptional fermionic superfluid," a new quantum phase that intrinsically hosts singularities known as exceptional ...

Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense ...

Superfluid focus: Schematic showing how a laser (green) is fired at a gold surface in a superfluid to create nanoparticles. The nanoparticles are then held in optical tweezers, which are created by ...

Pulsars are known to be the most precise cosmic timekeepers, but occasional “glitches” or a sudden increase in their spin rate disrupts the stars’ otherwise regular behaviour. A new study of the ...

Scientists at MIT have directly captured signs of “second sound” in a superfluid for the first time. This bizarre phenomenon occurs when heat moves like sound waves through an unusual state of matter.

It has been 100 years since the discovery of superconductivity, a state achieved when mercury was cooled, with the help of liquid helium, to nearly the coldest temperature achievable to form a ...

Sometimes astronomy goes nuts in many different ways at once. On rotating neutron stars (pictured), it gets particularly wild, because superfluids are involved. The result? Stars covered in highly ...

NEW ORLEANS — Black holes and superfluids make for strange bedfellows: One is famous for being so dense that light can’t escape, and the other is a bizarre liquid that flows without friction. But new ...

Researchers from Lancaster University in the UK have discovered how superfluid helium 3 He would feel if you could put your hand into it. The interface between the exotic world of quantum physics and ...

A century after the discovery of superfluids, scientists using a powerful supercomputer have devised a theoretical framework that explains the real-time behavior of superfluids. It has been 100 years ...
