Recent experiments by Sato et al. [1] have explored the dynamics of $^4$He superflow through an array of nanopores. These experiments have found that, as the temperature is lowered, phase-slippage in the pores changes its character, from…
The freezing and melting of $^{4}$He in various aerogels with porosities ranging from 92 to 97% was studied using longitudinal ultrasound. The freezing pressure, detected by a change in velocity and attenuation, was elevated from that of…
We use neutron absorption in rotating 3He-B to heat locally a 10 micrometer-size volume into normal phase. When the heated region cools back in microseconds, vortex lines are formed. We record with NMR the number of lines as a function of…
Although there is strong theoretical and experimental evidence for electron-hole superfluidity in separated sheets of electrons and holes at low $T$, extending superfluidity to high $T$ is limited by strong 2D fluctuations and…

The electronic specific heat of as-grown and annealed single-crystals of FeSe1-xTex (0.6<=x<=1) has been investigated. It has been found that annealed single-crystals with x=0.6-0.9 exhibit bulk superconductivity with a clear specific-heat…
A mutual action of the random anisotropy brought in the superfluid 3He by aerogel and of the global anisotropy caused by its deformation is considered. Strong global anisotropy tends to suppress fluctuations of orientation of the order…
Below the phase transition temperature $Tc \simeq 10^{-3}$K He-3B has a mixture of normal and superfluid components. Turbulence in this material is carried predominantly by the superfluid component. We explore the statistical properties of…
The superfluid transition of a three-dimensional gas of hard-sphere bosons in a disordered medium is studied using quantum Monte Carlo methods. Simulations are performed in continuous space both in the canonical and in the grand-canonical…
A sudden loss of vacuum can be catastrophic for particle accelerators. In such an event, air leaks into the liquid-helium-cooled accelerator beamline tube and condenses on its inner surface, causing rapid boiling of the helium and dangerous…
Water shows anomalous properties that are enhanced upon supercooling. The unusual behavior is observed in both H$_2$O and D$_2$O, however with different temperature dependences for the two isotopes. It is often noted that comparing the…
