"MIT Researchers Capture Heat Behaving Like Sound in Superfluids"
TL;DR Summary
Physicists at MIT have captured direct images of a phenomenon known as "second sound," where heat behaves like a wave, bouncing back and forth like sound, in a superfluid state of matter. The images show how heat can move independently of the material's physical matter, creating oscillations similar to sound waves. This discovery could have implications for understanding heat transfer in exotic states of matter.
