Popis: Liquid $^3$He confined in low-density, highly porous random solids such as silica aerogel provides tuneable systems to study the effects of disorder and confinement on the properties of a quantum liquid. New superfluid phases result from the interplay between disorder, confinement and complex symmetry-breaking. An extended bibliography is appended. An edited and abbreviated version of this article appeared in Physics Today 71, 11, 30 (2018).
