A newly designed optical centrifuge allows scientists to control molecular rotation inside superfluid helium nano-droplets.

When scientists unwittingly turned helium into a superfluid — a feat many thought was impossible — Dr. Leggett not only recognized what had happened but also explained how.

The British-American theoretical physicist Anthony Leggett died on 8 March at the age of 87. Leggett shared the 2003 Nobel ...

Scientists at MIT have directly captured signs of “second sound” in a superfluid for the first time. This bizarre phenomenon occurs when heat moves like sound waves through an unusual state of matter.

Being small is good. Being very small is better. That is the philosophy of Mark Kester, University of Virginia professor of biomedical engineering, pharmacology and molecular physiology and biophysics ...

For you and me, the question is relatively straightforward—it’s what keeps our feet on the ground, computers on our laps, and water in our glass. But for physicists, it’s not that simple. Gravity ...
