Jiggling superfluid An artist’s depiction of a superfluid wave propagating through a layered superconductor. (Courtesy: ...

Physicists at Columbia University in the US say they may have found evidence for a phenomenon in which a superfluid suddenly ...

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 ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Superfluidity – the phase of matter that enables a fluid to move up the sides of its container – has been known about since the 1930s. Since then, superfluidity has become a prime ...

The significance of this breakthrough extends beyond superfluid helium. The validated S2W model holds promise for applications in other quantum-fluid systems, such as atomic Bose-Einstein condensates ...

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 ...

Figure 4: The processes involved in oscillatory (a.c.) motion. Suppose the acceleration stops to give a final steady velocity above v L. The surface excitation distributions will gradually come into ...

Most people know that there are three fundamental states of matter: Solids, liquids and gases. However, there are actually several additional, more unfamiliar forms, including plasma—which is found in ...

Perhaps the best-known example of hysteresis is the response of the magnetization of a ferromagnetic material to an applied magnetic field. If the material is initially unmagnetized, slowly turning on ...
