P. L. Kapitza

P. L. Kapitza was a prominent Soviet physicist known for his work in low-temperature physics and the study of quantum liquids like liquid helium. His research helped us understand how matter behaves at near-absolute zero temperatures, revealing unusual properties such as superfluidity—a state where a liquid flows without viscosity. Kapitza's contributions advanced both fundamental physics and practical applications, and he also played an important role in science education and international scientific collaboration. His work laid the groundwork for future discoveries in quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics.
