MIT physicists have captured direct images of "second sound," the movement of heat sloshing back and forth within a superfluid, for the first time. This breakthrough will expand scientists' understanding of heat flow in superconductors and neutron stars, and could lead to better-designed systems. The team visualized second sound in a superfluid by developing a new method of thermography using radio frequency to track heat's pure motion, independent of the physical motion of fermions. The findings will help physicists get a more complete picture of how heat moves through superfluids and other related materials.

Scientists at MIT have successfully captured the movement of pure heat, known as "second sound," in exotic superfluid quantum gases using a new method of thermography. This behavior, where heat propagates as a wave instead of spreading out, has been observed before but never imaged. The study, published in the journal Science, utilized a novel technique involving radio frequencies to track subatomic particles and capture the second sound in action. Understanding the properties of second-wave movement in superfluids could have implications for high-temperature superconductors and the physics of neutron stars.

Physicists in the US have developed a new technique for monitoring "second sound," a peculiar heat wave that occurs in superfluids, which could help model various poorly understood systems. The technique involves imaging heat flow in a strongly interacting Fermi gas composed of ultracold lithium-6 atoms, providing direct measurements of heat transfer and anomalous behavior at critical temperatures. This research has implications for high-temperature superconductors, neutron stars, and other systems, and the new technique is expected to be applied in systems where the whole system is far from equilibrium.

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.
