By applying a strong electric field to liquid helium Harris A. Notarys of Ford Scientific Laboratory, Newport Beach, Calif., has completely stopped superfluid flow. The only previous way to suppress the superfluid transition temperature Tι was by applying pressure. Results are reported in Phys. Rev. Letters 20, 258 (1968).
