flag MIT Physicists Record First-Ever Heat Sloshing in Superfluid.

flag MIT physicists have successfully captured the first images of 'second sound', a wave-like movement of heat within a superfluid when cooled to extremely low temperatures. flag Previously only observed in a small number of materials, this phenomenon reveals how heat can "slosh" back and forth, independent of a material's physical particles. flag This research will aid physicists in understanding how heat moves through superfluids and related materials, including high-temperature superconductors and neutron stars.
