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 ...

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

"In a quantum theater, where bosonic particles (particles with integer spin) go, everyone can sit in the central seat, forming what is called a Bose–Einstein condensate—a superfluid state in which a ...

A team of Italian scientists have successfully managed to ‘freeze’ light while asserting that it can behave like a supersolid. This has resulted in a major breakthrough in field of quantum physics.

According to research published in the ACS partner journal Environment & Health, microplastics — particles from 1 to 62 ...

A supersolid is a paradox of physics — a material that is both solid and liquid at the same time. This contradictory form of ...

A fresh look at past data reveals that exoplanets with masses similar to Jupiter formed much sooner than previously thought, according to new research.

How large are the clusters of loose particles that are not attached to a solid structure? What rules can be derived from this? "Our analyses show that the stability of the system is lost at a ...

Microsoft’s new “topological qubit” is not based on a solid, liquid or gas. It is another phase of matter that many experts ...
