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 ...

Physicists at the University of British Columbia sent a laser beam of an optical centrifuge into helium nano-droplets doped with dimers of nitric oxide in order to control and study their rotation ...

Superfluid helium represents a fascinating state of matter, manifesting unique quantum mechanical behaviours at ultralow temperatures, including frictionless flow and the absence of viscosity. In ...

Centrifuge enables researchers to control the rotation of molecules suspended in liquid helium nano-droplets, bringing them a step closer to demystifying the behaviour of exotic, frictionless ...

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 ...
