Abstract:  I will discuss our current research within the Center for Emerging Energy Sciences in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Texas Tech University.  This research is leading us back to the dynamics of the superfluid transition driven away from equilibrium, so I will finish by discussing briefly our experimental work in dynamics critical phenomena near the superfluid transition, and its applications to such far-ranging topics as the new 3He supply chain for fusion energy and a new area of ‘experimental cosmology’.
