It's not precisely a new form of matter, but it's close enough to make no nevermind. Anyway, it's quite the breakthrough, though several groups have been on the edge for a while. My old group saw indirect evidence of superfluidity about a year ago, but Ketterle's group is the first to see it directly. Dog snot is sort of a supergrossy, I think.

Well, she was feeling so good that she jumped up on me and then sneezed all over me. It was wonderful. It was like taking a snot shower :D Well, dog snot is a tricky substance to classify. I think it might fit under the superfluid category, but there are probably several other categories it would fit under as well. And I'm not sure I want to know what those are :) Our local physics expert might have some insight as to whether or not it's a superfluid. What does he say?
