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 ...

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

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in quantum physics, successfully creating a supersolid state using light for the first time. This achievement, led by researchers at CNR Nanotec in Italy, opens ...

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.

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 ...

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

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.

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.

The researchers created a supersolid state in light using quantum methods rather than the conventional freezing method, which involves reducing the temperature to change a liquid into a solid. To ...
