Physicists Caught Sound Moving at Two Different Speeds in 3D Quantum Gas
After previously studying the phenomena of two sound waves in quantum liquids, scientists have now observed sound moving at two different speeds in a quantum gas.If you were somehow immersed in the three-dimensional gas used for this study, you would hear every sound twice: each individual sound carried by two different sound waves moving at two different speeds.
This is an important development in the field of superfluidity – fluids with no viscosity that can flow without any loss of energy.Remarkably, the behavior…
