With properties of a superfluid but with a crystalline structure, supersolids have previously only been observed in ultracold ...

Helium was discovered to possess superfluid characteristics at low temperatures in 1936—helium atoms flowed through extremely narrow channels without friction or viscosity. Some atomic gases can ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in quantum physics, successfully creating a supersolid state using light for the ...

But things are a little different in the world of superfluid quantum gas. For the first time, MIT scientists have successfully imaged how heat actually travels in a wave, known as a “second ...

Scientists have transformed light into a supersolid for the first time, unlocking new possibilities in quantum physics, ...

Usually, when something gets warmed up, heat tends to spread outward before eventually dissipating. But things are a little ...

"In a quantum theater, where bosonic particles (particles with integer spin) go, everyone can sit in the central seat, forming what is called a Bose–Einstein condensate—a superfluid state in which a ...

This phenomenon occurs in certain quantum fluids, such as liquid helium-4 below a critical temperature of 2.17 K (-270.98 °C). In the superfluid state, the fluid can flow through narrow channels ...

Superconducting materials are similar to the carpool lane in a congested interstate. Like commuters who ride together, electrons that pair up can bypass the regular traffic, moving through the ...

In everyday materials, heat usually behaves predictably —it spreads outward from a hot source until it evenly distributes.
