This is not a smoking gun for superfluidity. This is a cannon.

“This is not a smoking gun for superfluidity. This is a cannon.” So today at work, I had a little free time so I decided to peruse some of my favorite websites for news and updates, but I have this tendency of opening too many windows so my computer crashed and I had to restart. When I restarted my browser, I was at my homepage where I was pleasantly surprised to find some breaking news. While attempting to understand the fundamental physics behind this discovery would probably be challenging for me right now, I think its pretty awesome that these students and faculty could make such an awesome breakthrough. Wolfgang Ketterle, a faculty member, is actually one MITs Nobel Laureates. He won the Nobel along with two other MIT alumni a few years back. From the MIT News Office: MIT physicists create new form of matter June 22, 2005 CAMBRIDGE, Mass. MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity.
