Hacker News with Generative AI: Superfluidity

Hydrogen becomes a superfluid at nanoscale, confirming 50-year-old prediction (phys.org)
Hydrogen nano-clusters at low temperatures display 'superfluidity'—a quantum state of frictionless flow only previously observed in helium.

Physicists spot quantum tornadoes twirling in a ‘supersolid’ (quantamagazine.org)
In a lab nestled between the jagged peaks of the Austrian Alps, rare earth metals vaporize and spew out of an oven at the speed of a fighter jet. Then a medley of lasers and magnetic pulses slow the gas nearly to a halt, making it colder than the depths of space. The roughly 50,000 atoms in the gas lose any sense of identity, merging into a single state.
