An international team of researchers has shown that superconductivity can be modified by coupling a superconductor to a dark electromagnetic cavity. The research opens the door to the control of a ...

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

Researchers may have glimpsed a supersolid, an enigmatic quantum version of a classical solid. Bilayer excitons spontaneously self-assemble into a solid phase. Credit: Cory Dean/Columbia University.

Physicists have used a new optical centrifuge to control the rotation of molecules suspended in liquid helium nano-droplets, bringing them a step closer to demystifying the behavior of exotic, ...

It may sound unbelievable, but new research suggests that instead of being featureless, dark matter could actually behave like a cosmic superfluid, forming swirling vortex lines and stable rotating ...

In 1951, physicist Julian Schwinger theorized that by applying a uniform electrical field to a vacuum, electron-positron pairs would be spontaneously created out of nothing, through a phenomenon ...
