A team of Japanese researchers has discovered a method to control Kelvin wave excitation in superfluid helium-4. This breakthrough can refine our understanding of how energy moves in quantum fluids, ...

Physicists have identified a new superfluid phase in a class of quantum systems that, until recently, looked too unstable and ...

Quantum dynamics provides the theoretical framework for understanding the evolution of quantum systems, wherein the effects of uncertainty and nonlinearity create rich, complex behaviours. Integral to ...

Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense rules we experience every day, where water pours, syrup sticks and coffee ...

Researchers have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in studying how vortices move in these quantum fluids. A new study of vortex ring motion in superfluid helium provides crucial evidence supporting ...

If we want to see quantum weirdness with our eyes, we’ll need Bose-Einstein Condensates. The weird rules of quantum mechanics lead to all sorts of bizarre phenomena on tiny scales— particles ...

Every fluid -- from Earth's atmosphere to blood pumping through the human body -- has viscosity, a quantifiable characteristic describing how the fluid will deform when it encounters some other matter ...

Physics is often about recognizing patterns, sometimes repeated across vastly different scales. For instance, moons orbit planets in the same way planets orbit stars, which in turn orbit the center of ...
