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.
