Each team created their supersolid differently, but both groups started by turning atoms into a “Bose-Einstein condensate”, a hyper cold gas made from atoms with even numbers of electrons.

The Significance of Light-Based Supersolids This is the first time a supersolid has been created using light, which could lead to new ways of manipulating photonic materials and quantum systems.

"We can imagine the supersolid as a fluid composed of coherent quantum droplets periodically arranged in space," says atomic and optical physicist Iacopo Carusotto from the University of Trento in ...

PARIS, France — Scientists on Wednesday said that they have successfully stirred a strange matter called a "supersolid" — which is both rigid and fluid — for the first time, providing direct ...

A supersolid isn’t what it may sound like. Essentially, its atoms are arranged in a rigid crystalline structure, like a regular solid – but they can also flow with zero viscosity, like a ...

An unusual state of matter, first theorized almost 50 years ago, has been created in experiments for the first time. Say hello to the supersolid, a state where atoms simultaneously exhibit a ...

The order of the supersolid would therefore be defined by the nodes and antinodes of this wavefunction. In 2004, Moses Chan of the Pennsylvania State University in the US and his PhD student Eun-Seong ...

A new “supersolid” phase of matter has been created by physicists in the US by cooling helium-4 to ultracold temperatures. Eun-Seong Kim and Moses Chan of Pennsylvania State University say their ...

The roots of the supersolid controversy go back to 1969, when Russian physicists predicted a state of solid matter in which gaps, or vacancies, in a crystal structure could move together as a ...

Supersolid, a London-based mobile games developer with more than 50 million downloads under its belt, is best known for the smash hit games like Super Penguins, Adventure Town and Pororo Penguin ...

In the 15 January 2004 issue of the journal Nature, two physicists from Penn State University will announce their discovery of a new phase of matter, a "supersolid" form of helium-4 with the ...

Probable Discovery Of A New, Supersolid, Phase Of Matter Date: September 3, 2004 Source: Penn State Summary: Two physicists from Penn State University will announce new experimental evidence for ...
