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

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have observed and captured images of a rare “edge state” in ...

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

They show us what atoms are involved and how ... and four oxygen. And state symbols in the brackets show which substances are solid, liquid, gases, or dissolved solution. The ‘aq’ tells ...

This state of matter was proposed in the 1960s, but only in the last decade did this move from a theoretical possibility to a ...

which contains a higher percentage of easily split uranium atoms (U-235) but is expensive to produce. In its natural state, common uranium (U-238) can't generate destructive nuclear explosions.

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

Everything that has mass is matter. In normal everyday life we come across matter in three states, solid, liquid and gas. They have a fixed shape and cannot flow The particles cannot move from ...
