CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature ...

In most materials, heat prefers to scatter. If left alone, a hotspot will gradually fade as it warms its surroundings. But in rare states of matter, heat can behave as a wave, moving back and forth ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new tool for measuring velocities in a Bose-Einstein condensate superfluid and applied it to studying superfluid turbulence. (Nanowerk News) Despite existing everywhere, ...

For the first time, physicists have captured direct images of 'second sound,' the movement of heat sloshing back and forth within a superfluid. The results will expand scientists' understanding of ...

It may sound unbelievable, but new research suggests that instead of being featureless, dark matter could actually behave like a cosmic superfluid, forming swirling vortex lines and stable rotating ...

In a recent study, an international team of physicists, led by Prof. JO Gyu-Boong from the Department of Physics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has made a significant ...
