In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have developed the first controlled method for exciting and observing ...

Helium nanodroplets are fascinating systems that exhibit unique properties due to their superfluid nature. Superfluidity is a phase of matter characterized by the ability to flow without viscosity ...

This article was originally published with the title “ Quantized Vortex Rings in Superfluid Helium ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 211 No. 6 (December 1964), p. 116 doi:10.1038 ...

Superfluid helium-3 (³He) is a fascinating state of matter that exhibits unique properties at extremely low temperatures. It exists in different phases, each characterized by distinct behaviors ...

Quantum fluids are exotic states of matter that exhibit unique properties governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. These fluids, which include superfluids and superconductors, have captured the ...

Turbulence can also occur in sound waves that propagate chaotically in certain media, such as superfluid helium. In the 1970s, Soviet scientists proposed that turbulence occurs when sound waves ...

Scientists have controlled Kelvin waves in superfluid helium-4, using electric fields and nanoparticles to visualize them, ...

Kelvin waves have been a mystery for decades but a new method involving superfluid helium-4 can help us control them.
