Abstract

Physics is one of the best tools that we have for solving puzzles in our world. These puzzles can range from questions about common phenomena that you see around you—like the wind blowing through a tree’s branches, to questions about very rare and mysterious phenomena that happen only under specific conditions. My journey with physics led me to one very special phenomenon, in which a normal fluid is cooled down and suddenly changes its fundamental properties to become what is called a superfluid. In this article, I will walk you through the fascinating world of superfluids, present some of the interesting things they do, and explain how these materials tie in with the discovery that led me to winning a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016.
