Sentences with phrase «matter superfluid»

Unfortunately, this is unlikely to be the case: Khoury's most recent computer simulations suggest that vortices in the dark matter superfluid would be «pretty flimsy,» he said, and unlikely to offer researchers clear - cut evidence that they exist.

If gravitational waves — ripples in space time — have a handedness, primordial particles could interact with them to form a dark matter superfluid that spreads through the cosmos

Not exact matches

They have used advanced mathematical methods to study unusual phases, or states, of matter, such as superconductors, superfluids or thin magnetic films.

It becomes a new state of matter — a «superfluid.»

The dense core of a nearby collapsed star is undergoing a rapid chill, providing the first direct evidence that such stars can produce a superfluid of neutrons — a state of matter that can not be created in laboratories on Earth.

«Now we are able to study this form of matter in a new way that allows us to see how quantum mechanics manifests itself in the motion of an isolated superfluid,» Gessner said.

The roots of the supersolid controversy go back to 1969, when Russian physicists predicted a state of solid matter in which gaps, or vacancies, in a crystal structure could move together as a single quantum wave — a collective motion reminiscent of the frictionless flow of a superfluid.

Stuart Clark describes how a superfluid Bose - Einstein state of dark matter particles might explain the streams of dwarf satellite galaxies in polar orbit around the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies (2 April, p 30).

It could even become a superconductor or a superfluid that never freezes - a completely new and exotic state of matter.

Entropy grows at the same rate as the surface area of the superfluid helium, instead of its volume — mimicking how the entropy of a black hole grows as it gobbles up matter and expands.

Span a wide range of quantum matter systems, including superconductors, superfluids, supersolids, electronic liquid crystals, topological insulators superconductors & superfluids, heavy fermions, and spin liquids.

But if the dark matter halo is in a superfluid phase, the particles move in sync.

Astronomers could also search for indirect evidence that dark matter behaves like a superfluid.

So why shouldn't dark matter have a superfluid phase, too?

The next step for Khoury and Berezhiani is to figure out how to test their model — to find a telltale signature that could distinguish this superfluid concept from ordinary cold dark matter.
