Recently, David Remnick wrote a brilliant article in the New Yorker, Bob Dylan and the “Hot Hand", which reminded me of concepts I’ve been trying to convey about the extraordinary—but also ...

Flow is an energized mental state that occurs when a person is totally focused and immersed in an activity and the challenge matches a person's level of skill. Being "in the zone" is another way of ...

Scientists at EPFL have provided the first experimental evidence of superfluidity at the nanoscale, shedding light on the fundamental basis of the phenomenon. Superfluidity refers to a state in which ...

Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team led by Innsbruck ...

New experimental results on the behavior of ultracold, two-dimensional gases reported by physicists may help clarify the mysterious phenomenon called "superfluidity" -- frictionless flow. If ...

Spatially indirect excitons in a semiconductor system are a highly sought alternative for achieving quantum condensation and superfluidity in solid-state devices at experimentally accessible ...

In two-dimensional systems, superfluidity occurs in the absence of the long-range order associated with Bose–Einstein condensates. This phenomenon is illustrated in the direct observation of ...

Hydrogen nano-clusters at low temperatures display 'superfluidity'—a quantum state of frictionless flow only previously ...

Super result: artists impression of a superfluid. (Courtesy: iStock/3quarks) Physicists in Germany say they have found definitive evidence for the existence of superfluidity in an extremely cold 2D ...
