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

An international team of physicists created a "supersolid" made entirely of light, advancing the study of condensed matter. Led by Dimitris Trypogeorgos and Daniele Sanvitto at the National Research ...

With properties of a superfluid but with a crystalline structure, supersolids have previously only been observed in ultracold condensates—until now.

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 ...

Scientists have turned light into a "supersolid" for the first time, marking a groundbreaking achievement in physics that could transform technology in fields like quantum computing and energy storage ...
