Researchers Confirm Theory for Superfluid Helium

Superfluids are a fascinating topic in modern physics research. Governed by quantum mechanics and known for their frictionless flow, superfluids have intrigued scientists with their unusual properties and far-reaching applications.

Researchers from FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, led by Professor Wei Guo, have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in studying how vortices move in these quantum fluids.

College Alumnus, Who's Already in the Guinness World Records Book, Earns High Engineering Honor

Florida A&M University and FAMU-FSU College of Engineering alumnus Asegun Henry—a contributor to two world records—recently received the Alan T. Waterman Award, which is the highest honor that the National Science Foundation can bestow on early-career engineers and scientists.

“It feels vindicating,” 41-year-old Henry, a Tallahassee native and Massachusetts Institute Technology professor, told the Democrat.
