In Cornell's Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics, scientists are artificially inducing disorder where none occurs naturally, in one of the most unusual states of matter ever created – superfluid helium-3. This fluid is in a unique state that allows it to flow without resistance. Understanding its properties in this disordered state could help understand the basic mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity.
