Solid helium represents a unique quantum solid whose low temperature properties challenge conventional understanding of condensed matter. Its remarkable behaviour, including supersolidity and quantum ...

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

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 ...
