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

Supersolids combine superfluids' friction-free flow with an ordered structure. In an exciting scientific breakthrough, researchers have successfully turned light into a "supersolid" for the first ...

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 ...

At first, the photons settle into a state with zero momentum, but as this state 'fills up', pairs of photons begin to spill into the two adjacent states. This causes the polaritons to condense into ...

The transformation of light into a supersolid marks a groundbreaking achievement in physics. This discovery not only expands our knowledge of quantum matter but also opens doors for revolutionary ...

Now they've gotten even more mind-bending, as scientists have transformed light itself into a supersolid. It's a breakthrough that could lead to new quantum and photonic technologies. Beyond the ...

In a significant advancement in quantum physics, researchers in Italy have successfully frozen light and demonstrated that it can exhibit supersolid properties. The findings, published in the ...
