Description
Asier Lopez-Eiguren and co-authors published a physics paper in 2026 on superfluid helium-3, a fluid that flows without friction at very low heat levels. Its shift between two states, called A and B, happens far faster than standard theory predicts. The team built a large computer program to watch the shift unfold.
The program, named dyGiLa, follows both the fluid's state pattern and its temperature on large three-dimensional grids. In fast-cooling runs, the B state appeared on its own, along with walls between regions and swirling defects. The start of the new state matched a known pattern for rapid cooling. The authors say this offers a natural route for the fast change seen in tests.
