A new topic on Quantum mechanics.
When is helium not a gas and what quantum abilitites does it take on?
Quantum wonders: Superfluids and supersolids
Superfluid helium climbs up walls and flows uphill in defiance of gravity. It squeezes itself through impossibly small holes. It flips the bird at friction: put superfluid helium in a bowl, set the bowl spinning, and the helium sits unmoved as the bowl revolves beneath it. Set the liquid itself moving, though, and it will continue gyrating forever.
