Examples
- Liquid helium becomes a superfluid when cooled below 2.17 Kelvin.
- The superfluid can flow through tiny openings without any resistance.
- Scientists study superfluid helium to understand quantum mechanics.
- The superfluid state exhibits zero viscosity and infinite thermal conductivity.
- Researchers observed superfluid behavior in the laboratory experiment.
- The superfluid properties disappear when the temperature rises above the critical point.
