Physics award acclaims superfluid helium

Article Abstract:

Physicists Douglas Osheroff, David Lee and Robert Richardson have been awarded the 1996 Nobel prize for physics for their 1971 discovery of superfluidity in Helium-3. Their work has stimulated extensive research on the behavior of macroscopic systems at low temperatures for the past two decades. The most evident contributions of Osheroff, Lee and Richardson's work can be found in quantum mechanics.

The best is yet to come

Article Abstract:

The optimality is the main ingredient of an organizing principle of science, but the patterns of connections within the real-world networks do not always respect it. A network might reveal optimal form only if it is ready and the nature of optimality has depended on the network's function.
