«Our recent ultra-low temperature experiments
on superfluid helium (3He) suggest an explanation why the Higgs boson observed at CERN appears to be too light.
In the 1970s, Brinkman worked
on superfluid helium with Anderson and Douglas Osheroff, both Nobelists but for different discoveries, before deciding to go into management.
Robert Richardson worked
on the superfluid properties of helium — now he worries that we are squandering our supplies of the gas
Not exact matches
If at the boundary the
superfluids continued to rotate faster
on the inside, then the two semicircles would start to twist, elongating the line that separates them, and thus requiring more energy to stay separated.
A NEARBY neutron star is chilling out, providing the first evidence that the cores of these collapsed stars can produce a neutron
superfluid — an exotic state that can not be created
on Earth.
On Earth
Superfluids with properties such as climbing up the walls of their containers can be made from chilled atoms.
Put a drop of
superfluid on most surfaces, and it spreads out into a thin layer, rather than beading like water
on glass.
There is little chance of creating a soup of
superfluid neutrons
on Earth.
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.
To the researchers» surprise, their calculations showed that turbulent flows of a class of
superfluids on a flat surface behave not like those of ordinary fluids in 2 - D, but more like 3 - D fluids, which morph from relatively uniform, large structures to smaller and smaller structures.
Here
on Earth,
superfluids aren't exactly commonplace.
