Laser experiments reveal strange properties of superfluids
Princeton University electrical engineers are using lasers to shed light on the behavior of superfluids - strange, frictionless liquids that are difficult to create and study. view more (2006-12-26)
Pitt researchers create new form of matter
Physicists at the University of Pittsburgh have demonstrated a new form of matter that melds the characteristics of lasers with those of the world's best electrical conductors. view more (2007-05-21)
Superfluid-superconductor relationship is detailed
Scientists have studied superconductors and superfluids for decades. Now, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have drawn the first detailed picture of the way a superfluid influences the behavior of a superconductor. In addition to describing previously unknown superconductor... view more (2008-08-04)
NIST announces first observation of 'persistent flow' in a gas
Using laser light to stir an ultracold gas of atoms, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Joint Quantum Institute (NIST/University of Maryland) have demonstrated the first "persistent" current in an ultracold atomic gas -a frictionless flow of... view more (2007-11-28)
MIT physicists create new form of matter
MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity. view more (2005-06-22)
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)
New model describes avalanche behavior of superfluid helium
By utilizing ideas developed in disparate fields, from earthquake dynamics to random-field magnets, researchers at the University of Illinois have constructed a model that describes the avalanche-like, phase-slip cascades in the superflow of helium. view more (2007-04-25)
Ultracold atoms produce long-sought quantum mix
In the bizarre and rule-bound world of quantum physics, every tiny speck of matter has something called "spin" - an intrinsic trait like eye color. view more (2006-03-15)
Scientists at Low Temperature Laboratory planning to model a black hole
Academy Professor Matti Krusius and Antti Finne, M.Sc. (Eng.), were invited to a recent science breakfast, hosted by the Academy of Finland, to talk about their ongoing work to produce a first-ever laboratory simulation of a black hole. A black hole is created as a result of the most extreme... view more (2003-04-16)
Ultracold test produces long-sought quantum mix
In the bizarre and rule-bound world of quantum physics, every tiny spec of matter has something called "spin"-an intrinsic trait like eye color-that cannot be changed and which dictates, very specifically, what other bits of matter the spec can share quantum space with. view more (2005-12-23)
'Vortex lattices' may help explain material defects
What do you get when you superimpose a rotating pattern of intersecting laser beams on a spinning cloud of ultracold atoms in a thin gas? Pretty pictures, for one thing-but also a new method that could be used to simulate why and how defects arise in superconductors, important materials that are... view more (2006-12-26)
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2003
The two Russian physisists Alexei Abrikosov, 75, and Vitaly Ginzburg, 87, and the British physicist Anthony Leggett, 65, will receive this year's Nobel Prize in Physics "for pioneering contributions to the theory of superconductors and superfluids". The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences... view more (2003-10-09)
Solution to elusive problem
Scientists at the University of Leicester are on the way to solving a problem that has long beset chemists trying to study chemical reactions. To establish reaction mechanisms the observation of reaction intermediates is vital, but they are incredibly short-lived under normal conditions, and... view more (2003-01-21)
Nanoscale imaging reveals unexpected behaviors in high-temperature superconductors
Recent discoveries regarding the physics of ceramic superconductors may help improve scientists' understanding of resistance-free electrical power. view more (2007-05-31)
Scientists discover quantum mechanical 'hurricanes' form spontaneously
University of Arizona scientists experimenting with some of the coldest gases in the universe have discovered that when atoms in the gas get cold enough, they can spontaneously spin up into what might be described as quantum mechanical twisters or hurricanes. view more (2008-10-16)
'Supersolid' or melted 'superfluid' film: A quantum difference
New calculations support an alternative to "superfluidity" of a solid as the explanation for the behavior of an isotope of helium, 4He, at temperatures approaching Absolute Zero, according to a report in Physical Review Letters. view more (2005-06-16)
New Honorary Fellows at the Institute of Physics
Dr Clive Foxell, Professor Klaus von Klitzing, Lord Robert May and Professor Joe Vinen have been awarded Honorary Fellowships at the Institute of Physics in recognition of their outstanding contributions to physics. Dr Clive Foxell has given exceptional service to the Institute of Physics and the... view more (2002-09-30)
New JILA technique reveals hidden properties of ultracold atomic gases
Physicists at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado at Boulder, have demonstrated a powerful new technique that reveals hidden properties of ultracold atomic gases. view more (2008-08-07)
Putting the squeeze on nitrogen for high energy materials
Nitrogen atoms like to travel in pairs, hooked together by one of the strongest chemical bonds in nature. By subjecting nitrogen molecules to extreme temperatures and pressures scientists are getting a new understanding of not only nitrogen but other similar molecules, including hydrogen. view more (2008-09-04)
The world's largest particle accelerator has been completed
The last quadripolar magnet was brought down into the tunnel of the world's largest particle accelerator; the CERN's1 LHC, or Large Hadron Collidor. view more (2007-04-02)
