We can learn a lot by studying microscopic and macroscopic changes in a material as it crosses from one phase to another, for example from ice to water to steam. A new study examines systems ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For nearly a century, scientists have known about the strange, zero-viscosity existence of superfluids. However, less is known ...

Physicists at MIT have achieved a major feat, capturing a bizarre quantum effect called second sound on film, where heat ripples through matter like a wave instead of spreading gradually. First ...

Researchers from Lancaster University in the UK have discovered how superfluid helium 3 He would feel if you could put your hand into it. The interface between the exotic world of quantum physics and ...

Researchers used optical trapping for the first time inside an ultracold superfluid made of helium. They were able to trap and monitor nanoparticles optically at ultralow temperatures. This technique ...

Researchers have developed a new tool for measuring velocities in a Bose-Einstein condensate superfluid and applied it to studying superfluid turbulence. (Nanowerk News) Despite existing everywhere, ...

The FINESS workshop series aims to bring together a critical mass of theoretical and experimental expertise at the forefront of research in the fields of degenerate ultra-cold matter, ...
