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

(Nanowerk News) A collaboration of Australian and European physicists predict that layered electronic 2D semiconductors can host a curious quantum phase of matter called the supersolid. The supersolid ...

Helium is the second most abundant element in the universe after hydrogen. But scientists aren’t sure just how much there actually is in the Sun’s atmosphere, where it is hard to measure. Knowing the ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has caught a distant world in the act of falling apart, its outer layers peeling away into space as a vast cloud of helium. The planet, a so‑called “super‑puff” with the ...
