A supersolid is a phase of matter that combines two apparently opposite characteristics: the rigidity of a crystal and the ...

Supersolids are strange materials that behave like both a solid and a fluid due to quantum effects – and now researchers have ...

For the first time, researchers transformed light into a quantum crystalline structure to create a "supersolid" that's both solid and liquid at the same time. Here’s what that means, and why it's such ...

At first, the photons settle into a state with zero momentum, but as this state 'fills up', pairs of photons begin to spill ...

This breakthrough in quantum physics could revolutionize quantum computing, optical circuits, and photonic devices, advancing ...

Languages: English. Scientists have succeeded in making light behave like a "supersolid" for the first time—a breakthrough that could improve our understanding of this exotic phase of matter.

This light supersolid is a whole new beast. “We proposed and measured a new paradigm of supersolidity. The theme of supersolidity has been explored in ultracold atomic BECs in the last 10 years.

A small international team of nanotechnologists, engineers and physicists has developed a way to force laser light into becoming a supersolid. Their paper is published in the journal Nature.

In a groundbreaking achievement, a team of Italian scientists have successfully frozen light and demonstrated that it can behave like a supersolid. This discovery, published in the ‘Nature’ journal ...
