- ForbesBingley, on 10/12/2007, -7/+39Just do a Google on American beers...
- merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -7/+37You remind me of the kids that complained about the lack of "picture books" in 3rd grade.
Academic texts are verbose, and sparsely illustrated. Deal. - ninepoundjammer, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25Just how many pictures of electrons have you seen previously?
- osbjmg, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22@datagod: Calm down, sparky. Sometimes you have to read in order to learn.
- verucasalt, on 10/12/2007, -7/+24Where are the articles about the mediocre fluids?
- Plugh, on 10/12/2007, -7/+20The story at Physorg doesn't say squat about the phenomenon. Have to wait for a better article, or try this: http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0602274
(BEC = Bose-Einstein Condensate; BCS = Bardeen Cooper Schrieffer. As if that helps.) - galisus, on 10/12/2007, -19/+32I've got your super fluid.
RIGHT HERE. ;) - yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12You need to be a quantum physician to understand this though.
Layman's translation please... :) - fatsobob, on 10/12/2007, -15/+22Giggity Giggity.
- The_Decryptor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Why is Plugh getting voted down?, he posted a link to the more technical version of the article, that's a good thing people.
mcherm (look down), posted a link to the search page (which shows the article Plugh linked to), and he got voted up. - mcherm, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Okay, if you want the ACTUAL article, rather than some mumbo-jumbo for the popular press, here's where you should go: http://arxiv.org/find/cond-mat/1/ti:+AND+type+AND+superfluid+new/0/1/0/all/0/1?skip=0&query_id=1a8dad140d578c01
Warning... Physical Review Letters article. May be dense reading. - valkraider, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Okay, if you want the ACTUAL definition of what the hell a superfluid is and what the significance of bosons and fermions, here's where you should go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfluid
- VadimKatchkakov, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5At univercity I have been worked with numerous cases of super fluids research in laboratory and condensations state. This field is having much growth in recent.
- rofo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is certainly more science than technology, but science is one of the "official" digg categories. Personally I welcome the broadening of digg's scope beyond just pure tech. I think the digg model can work with almost any subject, and I'd like to see the scope officially widened to encompass fields beyond tech.
- hewitt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3LMAO - yeah, I wonder why they couldn't get a good picture of it ... it's only a few degrees Kelvin above absolute zero afterall and in a tightly controlled sealed container .... they just didnt try hard enough.
- sedd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3zing!
- kiddailey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2- super fluid will soon be sued by Marvel for use of their trademark.
- nork, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Article summary:
- super fluid is faster than a speeding bullet
- super fluid can leap a tall building in a single boud
- super fluid has x-ray and heat vision
- super fluid can only be killed by kryptonite
- super fluid's arch-nemisis is Lex Luthor
- super fluid will be revinted on the WB in a new teen-oriented drama, and will be played by that kid in the Jessica Simpson Pizza Hut commercial - Woknblues, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I am digging this because I want someone to think "Hey this guy is real smart"....
- duke_nate, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2From what i got out of the article, it seems like they are learning alot more about superconductors from this new super fluid. Better superconductors = faster processors :-)
- reezer0, on 01/20/2009, -0/+0No slip boundary condition take that! Now go solve your simplified two dimensional Poiseuille flow problems.
- phae, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Obviously, some very heavy tech went into the making of this superfluid. But is there a line between 'tech' and 'science,' and if so, does this article cross it?
- ogletree, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Wow that was a spammed up site.
- oldcyborg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1If you drop the temperature of water, it turns into ice!! Isn't that amazing? Just as amazing as this super helium or whatever they were using. The logic of this whole thing escapes me, since it was orignally discoved in 1937, we have learned How Much????? Intel or AMD will solve it, to keep the law going, if nothing else. OR IBM....
Way over my head...
Cyborg
nah - panique, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2@FTA - “Simply by changing the temperature,” explains Bulgac to PhysOrg.com, “you have something that changes from behaving as a bosonic to behaving as a fermionic system. This is unusual behavior in any system so far.”
Looks like you don't know your bosons from your fermions, Cliff. - CingleMolt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1hehe... I like how these science stories make my brain tickle...
- JPhilipson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I make super fluid
- kickarse, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1intense... "this is heavy doc" - back to the future...
- dink, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2This just makes me wonder if there isn't granularity on the scale of infinity to the origional 3, solid, liquid, gas, now 4, previous three plus plasma, states of matter even taught in elementary school. So now we understand that superfluids have many states of matter within that description. Interesting. I wonder if there is a such thing as a super solid. From what I gathered a while back, we came across plasma because we were looking for a 'super gas'.
I just hope physics never goes so low as to say this is a 'super-duper-mega-something'.. at that point 'physics will have jumped the shark' - freebert248, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1WHAT!!!!!!?????
- enry, on 10/12/2007, -11/+9RLY. Can someoneone translate this from WTF into English?
- jonjonblazezany, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I got some super fluid for ya home made even lol
- JustEvk, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2They're going to say what happens when you take a fermionic superfluid and convert it into a bosonic superfluid? Finally my life long question has been answered!
- Matteos, on 10/12/2007, -9/+6Giggity goo
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2What does this mean in real terms?
Will it result in any sort of invention that will change our lives or is it just for phys geeks to get wet over? - theSpaceCow, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3I don't have time for all this science jibba-jabba. Does this mean new lubes or what?
- brucemolloy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0It sounds like you've been worked over by an abundance of fluid.
- yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -12/+4Sorry..
'verucasalt' said - "Where are the articles about the mediocre fluids?"
Here you go...

Enjoy :) - trogdor282, on 10/12/2007, -11/+3Stick around.
- chiapet, on 10/12/2007, -13/+4You need to be a quantum physician to understand this though {true dat}

Enjoy :) - yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -28/+8Point some of it in this direction, lovely boy ....
RIGHT HERE ;) - haooken, on 10/12/2007, -29/+7pardon my leet, but OMGSTFUGBTWkthnxbai.
- datagod, on 10/12/2007, -56/+13I hate articles that don't have pictures. This is 2006, not 1806. We obviously want to quickly see a picture of this superfluid, not read some dudes description.
