So far, the team has measured several effects, including wave steepening, shock fronts and solitary wave fission thanks to ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Does the force of gravity change at large scales? Perhaps not, but a new theory of dark matter shows why that could appear to be the case. Two physicists have been developing a theory of superfluid ...
