Superfluidity is a state of matter characterized by zero viscosity. This means that a superfluid can flow without any internal friction or resistance. When a fluid enters the superfluid state, it can exhibit remarkable properties, such as climbing the walls of its container and flowing through incredibly narrow channels or even cracks that would normally impede any normal fluid. The most well-known examples of superfluids are helium-4 below its lambda point of 2.17 Kelvin and helium-3 below its critical temperature of about 2.5 millikelvin. Superfluidity is a quantum mechanical phenomenon, meaning its behavior cannot be explained by classical physics alone. It arises from the collective behavior of particles at very low temperatures, where quantum effects become dominant. The concept of superfluidity was first proposed by Lev Landau in 1941 and experimentally observed in liquid helium shortly thereafter. Research into superfluids continues to explore their fundamental physics and potential applications in areas like quantum computing and precision measurement.
