Superfluid helium-4 (helium II or He-II) is the superfluid form of helium-4, the most common isotope of the element helium. The substance, which resembles other liquids such as helium I (conventional, non-superfluid liquid helium), flows without friction past any surface, which allows it to continue to circulate over obstructions and through pores in containers which hold it, subject only to its own inertia.
