Examples
- Liquid helium exhibits superfluidity at temperatures below 2.17 K.
- During experiments, scientists observed the peculiar behavior of superfluids flowing through tiny channels.
Meaning
Superfluidity occurs in specific conditions, typically at very low temperatures, where a liquid can flow with zero resistance.
