Scientists at MIT have directly captured signs of “second sound” in a superfluid for the first time. This bizarre phenomenon occurs when heat moves like sound waves through an unusual state of matter.

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 ...

Superfluid helium and Bose–Einstein condensation represent two distinct, yet profoundly interconnected, quantum phenomena that emerge under ultra‐low temperature conditions. In superfluid helium, the ...

Usually, when something gets warmed up, heat tends to spread outward before eventually dissipating. But things are a little different in the world of superfluid quantum gas. For the first time, MIT ...

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, ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia, RIKEN, and Kanazawa University created nano-size, ultra-cold labs to demonstrate superfluidity in hydrogen. Hydrogen nano-clusters at low ...
