Superfluid helium-3 (³He) is a fascinating state of matter that exhibits unique properties at extremely low temperatures. It exists in different phases, each characterized by distinct behaviors ...

Supersolid: A state of matter that combines properties of both solids and superfluids, exhibiting crystalline order while also allowing for superfluid flow. Quantum phase slips: Quantum tunneling ...

Federal funding announced today will help UBC Science researchers launch a range of quantum materials and computing ...

Researchers from the University of the Philippines have challenged the conventional understanding of how phase transitions occur in open systems, where the environment plays a significant role. Their ...

At extremely cold temperatures, things become fascinating. Much like how water turns into ice, some matter undergoes phase transitions that give them ...

MUCH like how water turns into ice, some matter undergoes phase transitions ... while helium isotopes change from gas to superfluid. A foundational principle known as the Kibble-Zurek mechanism ...

Daraio herself described them as really a "new class of matter" and said that they can take the form of squishy or metal ...

Researchers experimentally demonstrated counterflow superfluidity, a quantum state where atoms flow in opposite directions ...

Due to the extremely low temperatures required for the preparation of the counterflow superfluid (CSF) state and the need for measurements with single-atom spin resolution, the coexistence of ...
