In two-dimensional systems, superfluidity occurs in the absence of the long-range order associated with Bose–Einstein condensates. This phenomenon is illustrated in the direct observation of ...

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 ...

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 has now demonstrated ...

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 ...

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 ...
