  1. Superfluidity - Wikipedia

    Superfluidity is the characteristic property of a fluid with zero viscosity which therefore flows without any loss of kinetic energy. When stirred, a superfluid forms vortices that continue to …

  2. Superfluidity | Physics of Low-Temperature Fluids | Britannica

    Superfluidity, the frictionless flow and other exotic behaviour observed in liquid helium at temperatures near absolute zero (−273.15 °C, or −459.67 °F), and (less widely used) similar …

  3. Superfluidity Definition and Examples

    Feb 9, 2022 · By definition, superfluidity is the zero viscosity flow of a fluid, such as a liquid or gas. In physics, superfluidity is a property of fluids where they have zero viscosity or are frictionless.

  4. Liquid helium, superfluidity - HyperPhysics

    Superfluidity arises from the fraction of helium atoms which has condensed to the lowest possible energy. An important application of liquid helium has been in the study of superconductivity …

  5. Superfluidity in Physics: Key Concepts, Properties & Uses - Vedantu

    Superfluidity is a unique state of matter where a fluid can flow with absolutely zero viscosity. This means it moves without any internal friction or loss of energy.

  6. Without these attractions, helium molecules can move freely relative to one another, resulting in fluids with zero viscosity—a hallmark of superfluidity. In this state, helium is not a conventional …

  7. Superfluidity: what is it and why does it matter? – News Bureau

    What is superfluidity? The most obvious definition of superfluidity is the ability of a liquid to flow through narrow channels without apparent friction. However, this is actually only one of a …

  8. Superfluidity - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

    Superfluidity is defined as the phenomenon in which a special class of fluids, known as superfluids, can flow without viscosity, allowing them to circulate indefinitely without energy …

  9. Superfluidity: the mysterious quantum effect that became a …

    Feb 14, 2024 · Superfluid begins in the late 19th century with the race to liquify gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen – a race that created the modern field of cryogenics. Helium …

  10. How superfluids work in-depth | Description, Example & Application

    May 17, 2023 · Superfluidity is a phenomenon that occurs when a fluid is cooled to extremely low temperatures, close to absolute zero (-273.15°C or -459.67°F), and it loses all its viscosity. …
