Superfluidity: the mysterious quantum effect that became a …
Feb 14, 2024 · Super strange Many of helium II's properties, including its extraordinary thermal conductivity, can be described using a two-fluid model. (Courtesy: iStock/3quarks) The effects of quantum mechanics are all around us, but the quantum properties of matter are generally only apparent at the microscopic level.
Graphene at 20: why the ‘wonder material’ is finally coming good
Apr 30, 2024 · As such a great conductor and being 200 times stronger than steel, it’s obvious why there was so much excitement about graphene. But for anyone familiar with the “Gartner hype cycle”, it’s no surprise that graphene’s early promise was soon followed by a “trough of disillusionment” as people lost interest and enthusiasm.However, as the Gartner cycle so wonderfully predicts of any ...
