Pretty interesting, here's a video of the superfluid effects of helium: LINK

quote:

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


Wikipedia entry

Once it achieves the superfluid state the liquid helium leaks through the container that ordinarily would hold it. It can also travel up the sides of a container and can create a fountain that never stops.

ETA: I was wrong, superfluid and supercritical fluid actually appear to be two different things.

It's actually called a supercritical fluid

Or is that just the description of the flow and not the fluid itself?
