Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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, ...

How shock waves travel through a superfluid provides clues to understanding the deeper nature of Bose–Einstein condensation. An optical analogue that behaves as a pure superfluid could tell us what ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass- A superfluid moves like a completely frictionless liquid, seemingly able to propel itself without any hindrance from gravity or surface tension. The physics underlying these materials ...

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, ...
