This high-speed video shows superfluid helium dripping and breaking up. Although superfluid has no viscosity, this does not prevent the Plateau-Rayleigh instability from breaking the helium into droplets once the mass of the liquid is too great for surface tension to contain.

Superfluids
Cooling helium down to 2 Kelvin creates a superfluid, a special type of fluid that exhibits some bizarre properties. Superfluids have zero viscosity, meaning that they are frictionless, and infinite thermal conductivity, which means that any temperature changes are immediate throughout the fluid.
