“This superfluid has its own heat transport, and primarily interacts with probes inserted in the bulk.” This effect has some especially interesting consequences for the superfluid’s mechanical ...

When helium-3 is cooled to millikelvin temperatures it becomes a superfluid – a fluid with zero viscosity that can flow forever without any of its kinetic energy being dissipated as heat. Helium-3 ...

Helium was discovered to possess superfluid characteristics at low temperatures in 1936—helium atoms flowed through extremely ...

A new method uses helium droplets combined with ultrashort laser pulses to trigger chemical reactions in a controlled way.

The most common example of a superfluid is helium-4, which demonstrates this behavior when cooled below 2.17 Kelvin (-270.98 ...

For these superfluid properties to emerge, liquids such as helium have to be cooled to extremely low temperatures. "If your morning coffee was a superfluid, and you stirred it with a spoon, ...

In the superfluid case, light would flow around the air bubble and continue down the cable. But wait, there's more. Superfluids have a critical flow speed as well.

Physicists have developed a fluid which has “negative mass” — meaning it accelerates toward you when it is pushed away. Normally when a substance is pushed it follows the direction of the for… ...

Bizarre Superfluid with Negative Mass Created in a Lab. News. By Tia Ghose published 18 April 2017 When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Superfluid helium-3 is an extremely versatile macroscopic quantum system. Research on it influences a lot of other fields not directly related, such as the study of the Higgs mechanism, ...

Superfluid helium can do some seemingly impossible things, like climb up the walls of containers or leak through pores that are too small for normal liquid helium to pass through.

If dark matter forms a superfluid at the galactic scale, it could give rise to a new force that would account for the observations that don’t fit the cold dark matter model. Yet at the scale of galaxy ...
