Although superfluids flow indefinitely, scientists just witnessed one stopping. It could be evidence of a superfluid ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...

Physicists have finally watched a fluid that should never freeze lock itself into a crystal pattern, then melt back again, ...

In a first, scientists at Columbia University in New York and the University of ...

A team of Japanese researchers has discovered a method to control Kelvin wave excitation in superfluid helium-4. This breakthrough can refine our understanding of how energy moves in quantum fluids, ...

In 1951, physicist Julian Schwinger theorized that by applying a uniform electrical field to a vacuum, electron-positron pairs would be spontaneously created out of nothing, through a phenomenon ...

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.

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 ...

Being small is good. Being very small is better. That is the philosophy of Mark Kester, University of Virginia professor of biomedical engineering, pharmacology and molecular physiology and biophysics ...
