In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have developed the first controlled method for exciting and observing Kelvin waves in superfluid helium-4. First described by Lord Kelvin in ...

Scientists have transformed light into a supersolid, a breakthrough merging solid and liquid properties in quantum physics.

Hydrogen nano-clusters at low temperatures display 'superfluidity'—a quantum state of frictionless flow only previously observed in helium. The new research is published in Science Advances by ...

Chinese researchers observed a novel quantum state of matter, counterflow superfluidity, in atomic ultracold quantum simulation experiments, the University of Science and Technology of China ...

Physicists have transformed laser light into a supersolid, marking an entirely new process for achieving this mysterious ...

Quantum fluids are exotic states of matter that exhibit unique properties governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. These fluids, which include superfluids and superconductors, have captured the ...

A shoal of fish displays highly synchronized motion of a great number of fish, but it cannot compare with the perfect coherence of 10 23 quantum particles at low temperatures. When a macroscopic ...

But things are a little different in the world of superfluid quantum gas. For the first time, MIT scientists have successfully imaged how heat actually travels in a wave, known as a “second ...

SINCE publishing the preliminary measurements on thermal conduction in liquid helium II 1 which showed a variation of conductivity with temperature gradient, further data have been collected ...

Specifically, he investigates the superfluid phase transition in helium mixtures, the coarsening dynamics of metal alloys and polymer blends and diffusion-limited chemical reactions.
