Scientists at MIT have created a new type of matter - gas atoms that show high temperature superfluidity. This superfluid gas may have widespread applications for magnets, sensors and energy-efficient transport of electricity, as it allows superconductors to carry electrical currents without resistance.
The MIT team was able to view these superfluid vortices at extremely cold temperatures, when the fermionic gas was cooled to about 50 billionths of a degree Kelvin, very close to absolute zero (-273 degrees C or -459 degrees F).
