Keep cooling to 2.2 K and the helium enters its superfluid phase, called helium II. Superfluid helium has several very useful properties and is used in science and technology in multi-tonne quantities ...

These quantum vortices, typically dispersed from each other in superfluid helium, were manipulated to create a concentrated ...

The vortex appears in superfluid helium cooled to near-absolute zero temperatures, and according to the team that made it, studies of its dynamics could offer hints as to how cosmological black holes ...

Scientists have created a giant quantum tornado inside a helium superfluid, and they want to use it to probe the enigmatic nature of black holes. The whirlpool — made from liquid helium cooled ...

When helium is cooled to just above absolute zero, it transitions to a superfluid state. In this unique condition, the ...

Helium is an important resource for many applications, especially MRI machines, but the gas is hard to come by on planet Earth. While the world has been suffering a helium shortage for more than a ...

One of the materials he built is a molecular net, a wall with molecule-sized pores that can allow superfluid helium to pass quantum information. The holes in this net are about one nanometer across.

Similarly, Bose–Einstein condensation is responsible for the superfluid properties of helium below 2.17 K, and for the lossless conduction of electrical currents in superconductors. Yet there is ...

Quantum fluids are exotic states of matter that exhibit unique properties governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. These fluids, which include superfluids and superconductors, have captured the ...

Using the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), astronomers have performed high-resolution observations of a recently detected extreme helium star designated EC 19529–4430. It turned out that ...

Welcome to the frontier of a new commodity rush. Helium exploration and development is an industry emerging from a supply shortage that has spanned a decade. Pulsar Helium Inc (Pulsar) is a ...
