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

不过这次用光创造超固体的研究并未追逐极度低温，而选用半导体铝镓砷和激光代替超冷原子。根据《自然》于3月刊载的论文，该研究团队将激光照射至一小块有着狭窄脊状图案的半导体上，而光与材料间的复杂相互作用最终形成了一种混合粒子，即所谓的极化激元(Polari ...

Physicists have taken quantum strangeness to an extraordinary new level by measuring light across 37 dimensions. Their ...

Scientists have revealed a hidden trigger of lightning that could resolve a centuries-old weather mystery. Earth is struck by some 44 bolts of lightning each second, on average. Despite this, ...

Supersolids are a strange quantum state of matter that combines properties of solids and liquids. Now they've gotten even more mind-bending, as scientists have transformed light itself into a ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in transforming light into a strange state of matter: the supersolid. This quantum material combines the properties of a crystalline solid and a fluid ...
