Scientists have transformed light into a supersolid, a breakthrough merging solid and liquid properties in quantum physics.

Hydrogen is typically impossible to study in liquid form—it becomes a solid at -259°C (-434°F). But by confining small clusters of hydrogen molecules inside helium nanodroplets at -272.25°C ...

"Solid-state crystals will always have some ... researchers theoretically proposed to realize qubits based on electrons floating on liquid helium for the first time. In this physical system ...

In a gas, like helium, particles are widely spaced apart ... Describe the arrangement and movement of the particles in a solid, liquid and gas. In a solid, the particles pack together tightly ...

It took some detective work, but they think they know what was the cause. The MRI machine uses liquid helium to cool its powerful magnets. Turns out the helium had leaked and over 5 hours about ...

"This is significant, because it shows that helium is compatible with the solid phase of the core," Olson said. "But because the core almost certainly formed in a liquid state, there is more work ...

JOHANNESBURG, March 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The long-awaited event of filling a helium container with liquid has now taken place, an achievement the Company is pleased to announce.

“The applications, they’re a little bit sexier than filling party balloons. Liquid helium is the coldest substance on the planet and it’s used as the refrigerant for the super-conducting ...
