High-quality, single-crystal, ultra-cold solid helium exhibits supersolid behavior, suggesting that this frictionless solid flow is not a consequence of defects and grain boundaries in poor-quality, ...

The discovery that helium and iron can mix at the temperatures and pressures found at the center of Earth could settle a long-standing debate over how our planet formed. When you purchase through ...

Despatches from Holland related that a Professor Keesom had solidified that rare and undemonstrative gas, helium, by a process not too costly or laborious to be adopted industrially. By some ingenious ...

Two Canadian researchers discovered a new form of matter yesterday. They call it “supersolid helium,” and it’s stiffer than any solid matter ever seen on Earth. Above you can see an image of solid ...

Fritz London Memorial Prize recognizes pathbreaking work in low-temperature physics AMHERST, Mass. — Robert B. Hallock, distinguished professor emeritus of physics at the University of Massachusetts ...

Future quantum computers could be based on electrons floating above liquid helium, according to study by a RIKEN physicist and collaborators, appearing in Physical Review Applied. Today's computers ...
