Hydrogen becomes a superfluid at nanoscale, confirming 50-year-old prediction
Hydrogen nano-clusters at low temperatures display 'superfluidity'—a quantum state of frictionless flow only previously observed in helium.

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have developed the first controlled method for exciting and observing Kelvin waves in superfluid helium-4.
Researchers have pioneered the use of parallel computing on graphics cards to simulate acoustic turbulence. This type of simulation, which previously required a supercomputer, can now be performed on a standard personal computer. ...
