Domain walls: MRI image of superfluid helium-3 where the boundaries between regions of different chirality appear as dark vertical lines. (Courtesy: J Kasai et al/Phys. Rev. Lett.) Topological domains ...

It is a truism that first impressions really count. So you would think that a paper entitled "Superfluid motion of light" that had me running off to discuss a potential experimental demonstration ...

At lower and lower temperatures, greater and greater fractions of liquid helium become superfluid. Superfluid helium can do some seemingly impossible things, like climb up the walls of containers ...

Here’s how it works. In the cold, dense medium of a helium-3 superfluid, scientists recently made an unexpected discovery. A foreign object travelling through the medium could exceed a critical ...

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 ...

Smooth sailing: a polariton superfluid in action. (Courtesy: Polytechnique Montreal) The superfluid-like behaviour of a condensate of polaritons at room temperature has been seen for the first time by ...

Helium was discovered to possess superfluid characteristics at low temperatures in 1936—helium atoms flowed through extremely narrow channels without friction or viscosity. Some atomic gases can ...

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 ...

But things are a little different in the world of superfluid quantum gas. For the first time, MIT scientists have successfully imaged how heat actually travels in a wave, known as a “second ...

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 ...
