When Cornell physicists Robert Richardson, David Lee and Douglas Osheroff received the 1996 Nobel Prize for their discovery of the superfluid state of liquid helium, it was only the beginning.
Leggett was honored this year for his description of how 3He atoms interact in the superfluid state.
This study relates to the long - standing debate about the nature of the superfluid state in Fermi systems.
