Ludwig Wittgenstein, an Austrian Philosopher, once said: " A new word is like a fresh seed sewn on the ground of discussion." I agree. "Superfluidity" is one of these words. I hope that adopting this ...

Physicists have finally watched a fluid that should never freeze lock itself into a crystal pattern, then melt back again, ...

Ultracold lab: To demonstrate superfluidity in molecular hydrogen, researchers at the University of British Columbia, RIKEN and Kanazawa University confined the molecules within a nanodroplet of ...

"Superfluidity, which allows a fluid in the absence of viscosity to literally leak out of its container", adds Sanvitto, "is linked to the ability of all the particles to condense in a state called a ...

In two-dimensional systems, superfluidity occurs in the absence of the long-range order associated with Bose–Einstein condensates. This phenomenon is illustrated in the direct observation of ...

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 ...

Super result: artists impression of a superfluid. (Courtesy: iStock/3quarks) Physicists in Germany say they have found definitive evidence for the existence of superfluidity in an extremely cold 2D ...

Physicists last year created an exotic state of matter previously unattainable in the laboratory but whose characteristics theorists have debated for more than 40 years. The latest probes of the new ...

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 ...
