... Sébastien Balibar of the École Normale Supérieure in Paris and colleagues have seen the flow ofsolid helium--but only in imperfect crystals consisting of several distinct "grains." That suggests a less exotic explanation for the flow: On the boundaries between grains, the helium remains inherently liquid, and superfluid liquid helium, which also flows without resistance, seeps along the interfaces...
