A stable "exceptional fermionic superfluid," a new quantum phase that intrinsically hosts singularities known as exceptional ...

Physicists have identified a new superfluid phase in a class of quantum systems that, until recently, looked too unstable and ...

One key to creating superfluidity is to avoid "clamping" up any part of your body or brain. Because of my simple, color-by-numbers brain maps, my daughter can easily visualize the functional ...

Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team has now demonstrated ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have demonstrated the ability to both excite and detect spin waves in a two-dimensional graphene magnet, but they couldn't measure any of the wave's specific properties. Now, researchers ...

Superfluidity and "Quasi-Particles" The curious properties of liquid helium are explained by regarding it as a gas of hypothetical particles in a similarly hypothetical background fluid. Recent ...

(Nanowerk News) Matter that behaves like both a solid and a superfluid at the same time seems impossible. Yet, more than 50 years ago, physicists predicted that quantum mechanics allows such a state, ...
