Nonlinear optics: Shocking superfluids
An optical analogue that behaves as a pure superfluid could tell us what these clues mean. A Bose–Einstein condensate is one of the most intriguing states of matter. Its existence was predicted ...

Scientists stir 'supersolid' matter for first time
Physicists have, for the first time, successfully stirred a "supersolid" -- a bizarre state of matter that's both rigid and fluid. By doing so, they were able to directly observe the superfluid ...

ODIN device to allow scientists to detect low-mass dark matter using superfluid helium
The study authors suggest that when dark matter particles interact with superfluid helium in an optomechanical cavity, it results in a mechanical ringing effect. This effect is actually produced ...
