Ludwig Wittgenstein, an Austrian Philosopher, once said: " A new word is like a fresh seed sewn on the ground of discussion." I agree. "Superfluidity" is one of these words. I hope that adopting this ...

Flow is an energized mental state that occurs when a person is totally focused and immersed in an activity and the challenge matches a person's level of skill. Being "in the zone" is another way of ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists have officially spotted characteristics of superfluidity (a quantum fluid with zero viscosity) inside a two-dimensional ...

All known superfluid and superconducting states of condensed matter are enabled by composite bosons (atoms, molecules and Cooper pairs) made of an even number of fermions. Temperatures where such ...

Super result: artists impression of a superfluid. (Courtesy: iStock/3quarks) Physicists in Germany say they have found definitive evidence for the existence of superfluidity in an extremely cold 2D ...

New experimental results on the behavior of ultracold, two-dimensional gases reported by physicists may help clarify the mysterious phenomenon called "superfluidity" -- frictionless flow. If ...

What if you could disrupt the crystalline order of quantum matter so that the superfluid could flow freely even at temperatures and pressures where it usually does not? This is indeed the idea that ...

Have you come across new research, utterly failed to realise its significance, then the penny drops shortly afterwards? Well it happened to me this week. On Monday, I stumbled across a new research ...

Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team led by Innsbruck ...
