Helium-3 discovery in Minnesota is sparking big energy claims, but the science, rarity, and real-world limits matter more ...

Scientists can now reliably chill specimens near absolute zero for over 10 hours while taking images resolved to the level of individual atoms with an electron microscope. The new capability comes ...

How would you go about determining absolute zero? Intuitively, it seems like you’d need some complicated physics setup with lasers and maybe some liquid helium. But as it turns out, all you need is ...

Superfluid helium exhibits a range of remarkable physical phenomena that challenge conventional fluid dynamics and heat transfer theories. At temperatures near absolute zero, helium transitions into a ...
