Flow is an energized mental state that occurs when a person is totally focused and immersed in an activity and the challenge matches a person's level of skill. Being "in the zone" is another way of ...

Ludwig Wittgenstein, an Austrian Philosopher, once said: " A new word is like a fresh seed sewn on the ground of discussion." I agree. "Superfluidity" is one of these words. I hope that adopting this ...

Design of a system for controlling a levitating sphere in superfluid 3 He at extremely low temperatures The collapse of the scattering ring in the superfluid regime is clearly summarized in Fig. 2b, ...

Our goal is to provide, within a mean-field approximation, a general formula for the superfluid weight of a multiband system that can include topologically nontrivial bands and/or flat bands. A finite ...

Physicists have finally watched a fluid that should never freeze lock itself into a crystal pattern, then melt back again, ...

What if you could disrupt the crystalline order of quantum matter so that the superfluid could flow freely even at temperatures and pressures where it usually does not? This is indeed the idea that ...

New experimental results on the behavior of ultracold, two-dimensional gases reported by physicists may help clarify the mysterious phenomenon called "superfluidity" -- frictionless flow. If ...

Super result: artists impression of a superfluid. (Courtesy: iStock/3quarks) Physicists in Germany say they have found definitive evidence for the existence of superfluidity in an extremely cold 2D ...

Have you come across new research, utterly failed to realise its significance, then the penny drops shortly afterwards? Well it happened to me this week. On Monday, I stumbled across a new research ...

(Nanowerk News) Matter that behaves like both a solid and a superfluid at the same time seems impossible. Yet, more than 50 years ago, physicists predicted that quantum mechanics allows such a state, ...

Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team led by Innsbruck ...
