Using strong-coupling quantum field theory, we calculate highly accurate critical exponents ν,η following from new seven-loop expansions in three dimensions. Our theoretical value for the critical exponent α of the specific heat near the λ point of superfluid helium is α=-0.01294±0.00060, in excellent agreement with the space shuttle experimental value α=-0.01285±0.00038.
