 | Using laser light to stir an ultracold gas of atoms, researchers have demonstrated the first 'persistent' current in an ultracold atomic gas -a frictionless flow of particles. This relatively long-lived flow, a hallmark of a special property known as 'superfluidity,' might help bring to the surface some deep physics insights, and enable super-sensitive rotation sensors that could someday make navigation more precise. ...> Full Article |
