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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this study: For nearly a century, scientists have known about the strange, zero-viscosity existence of superfluids. However, less is known about supersolids—a ...

A team of Japanese researchers has discovered a method to control Kelvin wave excitation in superfluid helium-4. This breakthrough can refine our understanding of how energy moves in quantum fluids, ...

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 ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...

Superfluid helium-3 is a paradigmatic quantum liquid, exhibiting unconventional pairing and a range of distinct superfluid phases. When confined in aerogels, which are highly porous materials, the ...
