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.

Confining liquid 3 He in porous silica aerogel prepared with strong anisotropy stabilizes a state of axial superfluidity. The key to understanding this discrepancy lies with the means by which the ...

A 15-year-old prodigy has completed a doctorate in quantum physics. His aim is to increase the human lifespan.

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 ...

So far, the team has measured several effects, including wave steepening, shock fronts and solitary wave fission thanks to the chip. While these nonlinear behaviours had been predicted in superfluids, ...

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 ...

The ultra-dense remains of the galaxy's youngest supernova are full of bizarre quantum matter. Two new studies show for the first time that the core of the neutron star Cassiopeia A, is a superfluid, ...

Physicists have established why objects moving through superfluid helium-3 lack a speed limit; exotic particles that stick to all surfaces in the superfluid. The discovery may guide applications in ...
