Superfluids are intriguing states of matter in which particles behave like a giant collective wave, allowing them to flow without any friction. When this fluid flows past a fixed obstacle at a ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...

Cool stuff: an experiment done by Samuli Autti (right) and colleagues at Lancaster University has shed new light on the mechanical properties of superfluid helium-3. (Courtesy: Mike Thompson) For the ...

Hydrogen nano-clusters at low temperatures display 'superfluidity'—a quantum state of frictionless flow only previously observed in helium. The new research is published in Science Advances by an ...

In the last video from our 100 Second Science series we looked at why superconductivity is such an intriguing curiosity. This time round, John Saunders of Royal Holloway University of London explains ...

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 ...
