Answer
Osheroff received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on superfluidity in Helium-3. Superfluidity is a state of matter in which the fluid has zero viscosity and zero resistance to flow. This means that it can flow without any friction and can form vortexes that do not dissipate. Osheroff's work was instrumental in the understanding of superfluidity and its implications for the physics of matter.
