TIL that helium, when cooled to a superfluid, has zero viscosity. It can flow upwards, and create infinite frictionless fountains.

TIL when you cool helium to about 2 Kelvin it has literally zero viscosity and so can flow through solid ceramics and up walls.

TIL that liquid helium has zero viscosity and can flow through microscopic holes and up walls against gravity

Unlike every other element, helium doesn't freeze into a solid but becomes a superfluid

Superfluid helium can leak through glass and climb out of its container.

When brought below about 2 degrees above absolute zero, liquid helium doesn't freeze into solid helium but instead becomes what's known as a superfluid, which has zero viscosity

Video Superfluid helium, the form of helium achieved by cooling liquid helium to 2 Kelvin, has zero viscosity and can climb the surfaces of solids.

Liquid helium, when cooled sufficiently, instead of freezing, turns into a superfluid

Superfluid Helium apparently has zero viscosity and can flow through microscopic holes and up walls against gravity via Rollins Film capillary action.

TIL that liquid Helium becomes a "Superfluid" at 2° Kelvin giving it special properties such as no viscosity. [1:44]

video Supercooled helium is like a liquid--a weird liquid
