Type of article: Article, Review

Summary

Helium is purer, colder and less viscous than all the other liquids. It plays a fundamental role in physics. Thousands of researchers have studied its quantic behaviours which are often remarkable, particularly its superfluidity. But the physics of helium is also an example for the rest of matter. The article deals with turbulence, evaporation, crystallization, cavitation or wettability.
