A rare and bewildering intermediate between crystal and glass can be the most stable arrangement for some combinations of atoms, according to a study from the University of Michigan. The findings come ...

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 ...

Quantum turbulence in superfluid helium represents a paradigmatic system where classical hydrodynamics meets quantum mechanics. In this unique state, the fluid flows without viscosity and the ...

Quantum technologies, computers or other devices that operate leveraging quantum mechanical effects, rely on the precise ...

To put one of physicists’ most important theories to the test, scientists go to extremes. Extremely strong electromagnetic fields, that is. The theory of quantum electrodynamics, which describes ...

Bluefors, the world's leading manufacturer of dilution refrigerators, has entered into a groundbreaking partnership with space resource company Interlune. Interlune's first-of-its-kind helium-3 ...
