Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense rules we experience every day, where water pours, syrup sticks and coffee ...

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 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 ...

A giant quantum vortex may allow researchers to study black holes. This vortex is an eddy in a special form of liquid helium that displays quantum effects. The result has some properties similar to ...

Recent studies suggest a revolutionary perspective on dark matter, proposing that it behaves like a cosmic superfluid, flowing dynamically and forming vortex lines within galaxies. This challenges ...

Physicists predict that layered electronic 2D semiconductors can host a curious quantum phase of matter called the supersolid. This counterintuitive quantum material simultaneously forms a rigid ...
