Scientists have studied superconductors and superfluids for decades. Now, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have drawn the first detailed picture of the way a superfluid influences the behavior of a superconductor. In addition to describing previously unknown superconductor behavior, these calculations could change scientists' understanding of the motion of neutron stars. A neutron star, the high-density remnant of a former massive star is thought to contain a neutron superfluid. (source: news-info.wustl.edu)
