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, ...

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

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 ...

Although it makes up everything we see and touch around us, ordinary matter only accounts for about 15 percent of the mass of the universe. The other 85 percent is believed to be dark matter, a ...

Helium nanodroplets offer a unique medium for realising and exploring quantum fluid behaviour at ultralow temperatures. These nanoscale clusters of helium atoms, which exist in a superfluid state ...

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 helium and Bose–Einstein condensation represent two distinct, yet profoundly interconnected, quantum phenomena that emerge under ultra‐low temperature conditions. In superfluid helium, the ...

Researchers use silicon nanoparticles to help visualize the coalescence of quantized vortices that occur in superfluid helium, which can help improve our understanding of quantum fluids and materials, ...

Cool stuff: an experiment done by Samuli Autti (right) and colleagues at Lancaster University has shed new light on the mechanical properties of superfluid helium-3. (Courtesy: Mike Thompson) For the ...
