Researchers at UBC have found a way to mimic the elusive Schwinger effect using superfluid helium, where vortex pairs appear out of thin films instead of electron-positron pairs in a vacuum. Their ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Lord Kelvin theorized in 1880 that stimulating a thin vortex line would produce a helical deformation, later known as a Kelvin wave. While these waves have been observed in classical ...

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 ...

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 ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...
