A newly designed optical centrifuge allows scientists to control molecular rotation inside superfluid helium nano-droplets.

Superfluid helium and Bose–Einstein condensation represent two distinct, yet profoundly interconnected, quantum phenomena that emerge under ultra‐low temperature conditions. In superfluid helium, the ...

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 rotation ...

Researchers have discovered how superfluid helium 3He would feel if you could put your hand into it. The interface between the exotic world of quantum physics and classical physics of the human ...

In 1951, physicist Julian Schwinger theorized that by applying a uniform electrical field to a vacuum, electron-positron pairs would be spontaneously created out of nothing, through a phenomenon ...

Being small is good. Being very small is better. That is the philosophy of Mark Kester, University of Virginia professor of biomedical engineering, pharmacology and molecular physiology and biophysics ...
