Physicists Achieve First Observation of 'Second Sound' After a Century

Originally Published 7 months ago — by Live Science

Scientists have for the first time directly observed 'second sound,' a wave-like heat transfer phenomenon in superfluids, using a novel heat-mapping technique on ultracold lithium-6 atoms. This breakthrough could advance understanding of heat flow in extreme environments like neutron stars and improve high-temperature superconductor designs.
