On
this date in 1894, Pyotr Leonidovich Kapitsa was born in Russia. He
grew up to become a physicist, and in 1937, he discovered that helium
becomes a superfluid in low temperatures.
Kapitsa
ended up winning a Nobel Prize in physics for his discovery.
The
next year on this date, 1895, Igor Yevgenyevich Tamm was born in
Russia. He discovered, along with a man named Cherenkov, that there
is a faint blue glow emitted when a charged particle passes through a
liquid (or other material) faster than light travels through that
liquid (or other material).
Tamm
ended up winning a Nobel Prize in physics for his work, too.
Nice
coincidence, eh?
Superfluid helium seems to defy gravity. It climbs up the walls of its container and then drips down and out of the container. It can even create a fountain like this: |
