An international collaboration of scientists has created and observed an entirely new class of vortices -- the whirling masses of fluid or air. A new article details laboratory studies of these ...

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 ...

Spinning around: superfluid vortices could provide an insight into their classical counterparts Quasiparticles within a rotating sample of superfluid helium-3 create unexpected friction in a material ...

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 ...

Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology are part of a new study that could help unlock the potential of superfluids—essentially frictionless special substances capable of unstopped motion ...

Physicists at MIT have achieved a major feat, capturing a bizarre quantum effect called second sound on film, where heat ripples through matter like a wave instead of spreading gradually. First ...

We can learn a lot by studying microscopic and macroscopic changes in a material as it crosses from one phase to another, for example from ice to water to steam. A new Australian study examines ...

Superfluid helium-3 is a paradigmatic quantum liquid, exhibiting unconventional pairing and a range of distinct superfluid phases. When confined in aerogels, which are highly porous materials, the ...
