A thin invisible film creeps up the inside wall of the bowl and down on the outside. A drop forms. It will fall off into the liquid helium below. This will repeat until the cup is empty—provided the liquid remains superfluid.

AI overview

Superfluidity is a state of matter, demonstrated by helium at very low temperatures, in which the liquid can flow without friction and creep along surfaces—even climbing up and over container walls—in ways that normal liquids cannot. This property matters because it reveals extraordinary behavior in materials under extreme conditions and helps scientists understand the fundamental physics of how matter behaves at the quantum level.

Suprafluiditet kallas det fenomen som gör att vissa ämnen vid låga temperaturer har en fluid fas som flödar utan viskositet, så kallade suprafluider. Ett exempel är heliumisotopen 4He som vid temperaturer under 2,186 K (−270,964 °C) uppvisar sådana egenskaper. Supravätskor kan bland annat flyta upp längs väggarna i den behållare där de förvaras. De kan också tränga igenom de allra minsta porer eftersom de helt saknar viskositet. Vidare har de mycket hög värmeledningsförmåga.
