Recently, researchers have developed several applications for superfluids. For instance, they have been used as specialized solvents (quantum solvents) in spectroscopy, as agents to trap and dramatically reduce the speed of light, and as materials needed in high-precision gyroscopes.

The unique properties of superfluids have the potential to revolutionize a wide range of technologies. For example, superfluid helium is used in a variety of scientific instruments, such as MRI machines and particle accelerators, because it can provide very low temperatures without the need for bulky and expensive cryogenic equipment.
