Research Presents Key Discoveries in Liquid Helium's Heat Properties

Recent studies on the specific heat of liquid helium have uncovered that significant changes occur at a critical temperature known as the lambda-point, within a very narrow temperature range. The experiments suggest that the jump in specific heat at this point is notable but difficult to quantify precisely. Additionally, the research supports earlier findings that there is no latent heat involved in the transformation at the lambda-point, challenging previous assumptions about heat absorption during phase transitions in helium. This research provides deeper insights into the behaviour of helium under different conditions, potentially influencing how we utilise this element in various applications.
