Scientists Have Turned Light Into a Supersolid—Here's Why That's a Big Deal
"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 ...

Scientists Just Turned Light Into a ‘Supersolid’: Both Solid and Liquid at The Same Time
A supersolid is a paradox of physics — a material that is both solid and liquid at the same time. This contradictory form of ...
Italian Scientists Freeze Light, Convert It Into Solid in Major Research Breakthrough
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.
