Although, a number of theoretical models in the past have predicted the presence of 'plastic ice VII', this is the first time ...

Ranch dressing is actually a fifth state of matter known as soft matter. Soft matter can have properties of both liquids and ...

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

Italian researchers have turned light into a quantum ‘supersolid’, an achievement which they called “pretty awesome”.

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 ...

Scientists have observed photons behaving as a supersolid, a unique quantum state where particles form a rigid structure but ...

Scientists have discovered plastic ice VII, the fourth stage of water found under extreme conditions. Created by applying ...

"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 ...

Even the icy planets in our solar system such as Neptune, Uranus or Jupiter's moon Europa, might have harboured plastic ice ...

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