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

Researchers may have glimpsed a supersolid, an enigmatic quantum version of a classical solid. Bilayer excitons spontaneously self-assemble into a solid phase. Credit: Cory Dean/Columbia University.

Helium nanodroplets offer a unique medium for realising and exploring quantum fluid behaviour at ultralow temperatures. These nanoscale clusters of helium atoms, which exist in a superfluid state ...

Superfluidity as a research area investigates quantum condensed phases of matter that exhibit frictionless flow, quantized circulation, and macroscopic quantum coherence, primarily in systems such as ...

Researchers used a non-Hermitian version of the Hubbard model with spin-resolved asymmetric hopping to reveal how spin depairing creates a stable superfluid with embedded exceptional points. A stable ...

In a recent study in Nature, a research team from Columbia University and the University of Texas at Austin has made a groundbreaking observation: a superfluid, which typically remains in perpetual ...

According to a recent study from the University of Helsinki, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, a vortex of a superfluid that has been quantized four times has three ways of dividing, ...

Ordinary matter, when cooled, transitions from a gas into a liquid. Cool it further still, and it freezes into a solid. Quantum matter, however, can behave very differently. In the early 20 th century ...
