Berkeley - University of California, Berkeley, physicists can now tune in to and hear normally inaudible quantum vibrations, called quantum whistles, enabling them to build very sensitive detectors of ...

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, ...

A new detector sensitive to low-mass dark matter particles too light for current experiments to see has been proposed by physicists in the US. Built around a bath of superfluid helium-4, the device ...

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

Superfluid helium exhibits a range of remarkable physical phenomena that challenge conventional fluid dynamics and heat transfer theories. At temperatures near absolute zero, helium transitions into a ...

Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense ...

A free neutron outside a nucleus is not stable. It undergoes beta decay at a probability. Over time, the number of free neutrons decreases exponentially at a time constant, which is called the neutron ...

Researchers use silicon nanoparticles to help visualize the coalescence of quantized vortices that occur in superfluid helium, which can help improve our understanding of quantum fluids and materials, ...
