Popis: Superfluidity of light enables movement without friction or, in optical terms, diffraction. Here, Michel et al. report the detection of the transition to superfluidity in the flow of a fluid of light past an obstacle in a bulk nonlinear crystal and extract the drag force exerted by the fluid of light.
