Physicists create fluid with ‘negative mass’<\/h1>\n

“What’s a first here is the exquisite control we have over the nature of this negative mass, without any other complications,” said researcher Michael Forbes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

April 17 (UPI) —\u00a0A team of physicists at Washington State University have created a fluid that ignores\u00a0Isaac Newton<\/a>‘s Second Law of Motion. The fluid has “negative mass.” When it’s pushed it accelerates backwards.<\/p>\n

Almost all matter in the universe obey’s Newton’s second law — matter accelerates in the direction of the force applied to it. The new fluid does the opposite.<\/p>\n

“With negative mass, if you push something, it accelerates toward you,” Michael Forbes, an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Washington State,\u00a0said in a news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The liquid consists of rubidium atoms cooled to a temperature barely greater than absolute zero. The cooled atoms formed a Bose-Einstein condensate, a phase of matter characterized by slow-moving particles that behave like waves. The matter behaves like a superfluid, meaning its particles move in unison without sacrificing energy.<\/p>\n
