In helium-three, superfluid particles pair 'like a dance in space'

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

Picture a nanoscale dance floor full of independently moving particles. When things really start to heat up—or, in this case, cool down—particles partner off, but on opposite sides of the space, "dancing" in synch as if telepathically.
