"Superfluid helium-3 feels like a vacuum to a rod moving through it, although it is a relatively dense liquid. There is no resistance, none at all," said physicist Samuli Autti of Lancaster ...

Superfluid light could also have applications in light transport optimization. “One straightforward implication is related to transport in the presence of noise,” Leboeuf said.

Superfluid helium-3 is an extremely versatile macroscopic quantum system. Research on it influences a lot of other fields not directly related, such as the study of the Higgs mechanism, ...

The superfluid sphere is analogous to a black hole’s event horizon, the region of no return surrounding the black hole, beyond which light can’t escape. In black holes, ...

When helium-3 is cooled to millikelvin temperatures it becomes a superfluid – a fluid with zero viscosity that can flow forever without any of its kinetic energy being dissipated as heat. Helium-3 ...

Scientists discovered in 1937 that liquid helium-4, when chilled to extremely low temperatures, became a superfluid that could leak through glass, overflow its containers, or eternally gush like a ...

For these superfluid properties to emerge, liquids such as helium have to be cooled to extremely low temperatures. "If your morning coffee was a superfluid, and you stirred it with a spoon, ...

However, one of the main problems with studying superfluids is that all available methods of measuring the delicate superfluid rotation bring the motion to a halt. Bhattacharya and his team of RIT ...

If dark matter forms a superfluid at the galactic scale, it could give rise to a new force that would account for the observations that don’t fit the cold dark matter model. Yet at the scale of galaxy ...
