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 ...

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

"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 ...

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