What are Superfluids and Why Are They Important?
Can you imagine a cup of tea that doesn't obey the laws of physics? One that pours out of the bottom of your cup while crawling up the sides to the top? Join Hank Green for a fun new SciShow super episode all about superfluids!

Boaz Almog: The levitating superconductor
How can a super-thin 3-inch disk levitate something 70,000 times its own weight? In a riveting demonstration, Boaz Almog shows how a phenomenon known as quantum locking allows a superconductor disk to float over a magnetic rail --...

The Strange, Frictionless World of Superfluids
Imagine a cup of tea that doesn't obey the laws of physics, it pours out of the bottom of your cup while crawling up the sides to the top, and you'll have a pretty good picture of the ultracold phenomena of superfluids.

Liquid Nitrogen Demos
We look at how different materials change when they are exposed to liquid nitrogen. Flowers become frozen and stiff and the petals snap. A banana hardens and is strong enough to be used as a hammer and a squash ball becomes very brittle...

The Physics of Superconductors
How a superconductor works. Everything from the physics and some of the history as well. Superconductors were discovered in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. It was discovered because it was made possible to liquefy helium which produced...
