We all know the feeling of having an “Aha!” moment—when your thoughts and ideas seem to flow without friction or viscosity and come together in a millisecond of perfect harmony. Having an epiphany is ...

Duke University researchers may have reached a milestone in physics by cooling and confining a gas of lithium-6 atoms into a kind of oscillating “jelly” exhibiting group behavior uncharacteristic of ...

For the first time, physicists have captured direct images of 'second sound,' the movement of heat sloshing back and forth within a superfluid. The results will expand scientists' understanding of ...

Three researchers won the Nobel Prize in Physics this morning for developing seminal theories that explain an important type of superconductivity and a related phenomenon known as superfluidity. Their ...

Helium nanodroplets offer a unique medium for realising and exploring quantum fluid behaviour at ultralow temperatures. These nanoscale clusters of helium atoms, which exist in a superfluid state ...
