Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team has now demonstrated ...

Duke University researchers may have reached a milestone in physics by cooling and confining a gas of lithium-6 atoms into a kind of oscillating “jelly” exhibiting group behavior uncharacteristic of ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature ...

Theory and experiment This composite image shows a simulation of three supersolid vortices superimposed upon experimental observations of vortices in a BEC. (Courtesy: University of Innsbruck, Austria ...

(Nanowerk News) Matter that behaves like both a solid and a superfluid at the same time seems impossible. Yet, more than 50 years ago, physicists predicted that quantum mechanics allows such a state, ...
