Senior author of breakthrough study
Scientists trapped hydrogen molecules in frozen helium droplets at nearly absolute zero and watched them flow without friction—the first direct observation of superfluidity in a molecule. When they spun a methane molecule inside clusters of 15 to 20 hydrogen molecules, it rotated forever without slowing down, confirming what Nobel laureate Vitaly Ginzburg predicted in 1972 but no one could prove until now.
