Hydrogen Molecule Becomes Superfluid: A 50-Year-Old Prediction Confirmed

Professor Takamasa Momose's group has revealed clear experimental evidence that the hydrogen molecule becomes superfluid at the nanoscale, confirming a 50-year-old prediction. Using advanced laser spectroscopy, the team observed unique rotational behavior in liquid hydrogen molecules, demonstrating their superfluid nature.

Their findings, published in Science Advances, deepens our understanding of quantum fluids beyond helium and may inspire future research in hydrogen molecule-based quantum materials. This breakthrough could also lead to new ideas for more efficient hydrogen storage and transport, contributing to advancements in clean energy technologies.
