Abstract
Just a few years ago it was generally believed that the NMR properties of superfluid3He far below Tc would not be qualitatively different from those found at higher temperatures. Surprisingly, the strange enhancement of relaxation processes at around 0.4 Tc named catastrophic relaxation, was then found. Recently an extremely long lived induction signal with new dynamical properties was discovered in the region of 100 μK. Some of the newly discovered properties can be partly explained, although there are still many unsolved problems. The main aim of this article is to raise new questions for future investigations at the lowest temperatures presently possible.
