Scientists have transformed light into a supersolid, a breakthrough merging solid and liquid properties in quantum physics.

A team of Italian scientists has successfully made light behave like a supersolid for the first time. Published in Nature ...

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

For the first time, researchers transformed light into a quantum crystalline structure to create a "supersolid" that's both ...

Experts at SXSW think you should care about quantum computing. Here's what to know about the emerging tech field and how it ...

This approach produces selected, more complex structures from atoms ... from the gas phase by producing a vapor of the product material using chemical or physical means. The production of the initial ...

Ranch dressing is actually a fifth state of matter known as soft matter. Soft matter can have properties of both liquids and solids, so materials scientists say it is viscoelastic – a combination of ...

The transport of dense gases and liquids is becoming increasingly relevant in relation to carbon capture. Research published ...

Squishy materials can also exhibit shear thickening – they become more rigid the harder you try to deform them. This is how ...

Water can exist in two liquid states under extreme conditions, reshaping our understanding of its molecular behavior.
