thumb|right|Helium#Helium II|Helium II will "creep" along surfaces in order to find its own level—after a short while, the levels in the two containers will equalize. The [[Rollin film also covers the interior of the larger container; if it were not sealed, the helium II would creep out and escape.]] thumb|right|The liquid helium is in the superfluid phase. 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.
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.

超流體是一種物質狀態,特點是完全缺乏黏性。如果將超流體放置於環狀的容器中,由於沒有摩擦力,它可以永無止盡地流動。它能以零阻力通过微管,甚至能从碗中向上“滴”出而逃逸。超流體是被彼得·卡皮查、約翰·艾倫和在1937年發現的。有關超流體的研究被稱為。氦-4的超流體現象理論是列夫·朗道創造的,而尼古拉·尼古拉耶维奇·博戈柳博夫是第一個建議使用微扰理论者。
