Magnet lab researcher exploring science behind commercial applications of liquid helium
In a letter published in a recent issue of Nature Physics, Van Sciver wrote that when superfluid helium flows toward and then around a relatively large object, say the size of a small stone, it has a tendency to create whirlpools not just in the back, as would be expected, but also in the front.   view more (2005-12-12)
